Q. & A. with Jenn

    All of our dogs and puppies are raised in our home and are treated like family. We spoil each of our puppies with personal attention and lots of group playtime. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
