Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I both grew up around dogs and our best friends were breeders. We fell in love with every litter of puppies they had and that's what started our program and our love of breeding!

We breed for a purpose. We breed to produce happy, healthy, and loving puppies. Our daughters adore every litter we have and they help raise them like we are keeping all of them ❤️
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include piebald, cream, black, chocolate, brindle, fawn (isabella) and tan, black and tan, chocolate and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
