We offer a lifetime health guarantee, veterinary health certificate, microchipping with registration, AKC registration, and much more, for no additional cost.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
