Michele was so helpful and knowledgeable about the breed. From first contacting her to us picking him up in Chicago. She truly made it a wonderful experience. Confetti is a blessing and true enjoyment.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
