I'm Sara F., the breeder behind Long Little Dog Ranch located in Frazee, MN. There are many things to consider when choosing a companion for your family.
Our focus is not only providing a healthy puppy, but also one that is confident in its environment. Our puppies are raised in our home along with our children.
Starting at 2 weeks old we are introducing different sounds as well as safe tactical obstacles. Ensuring that they will become stable adult companions.
