    We love this breed! Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families.

    Lila was responsive to my communications. We had to fly the puppy due to distance and it went well between us. “Flynn” arrived in great shape and is just what he appeared to be online. I am very happy with the puppy and experience.

    Lila was wonderful to work with. We love our new addition to the family and have named her Luna! She is settling in wonderfully with her big puppy sisters! You can tell Lila took time and care in breeder Luna, she was so attentive since day one, she is mild mannered and is just so wonderful. We highly recommend working with Lila and her pups if you’re looking for a great breeder, she is responsive and easy to work with from start to finish!
