Q. & A. with Peter
What makes your program special?
We are looking to place our puppies in the homes best suited for both puppy and buyer. We start with a basic application and then we look forward to getting to know our prospective buyers. We are a small program and we are looking for quality and not quantity. Our puppies leave for their new homes pre-loved.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
