Meet the breeder

  • What makes your program special?

    I am fairly new to both breeds, but feel dedicated to keeping both healthy and versatile.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
