I'm Melanie C., the breeder behind Moon Flower Farm located in Douglasville, GA. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have wonderful temperaments. It is our goal to produce healthy, show-quality puppies with wonderful temperaments. With this in mind, we consider a variety of factors when making breeding decisions, and we only breed dogs that are exemplary representations of the standard. We provide each of our dogs and puppies with the best care, and we ensure each pup that we don’t keep goes to a responsible, loving home. My pups are AKC registered and have ISO microchips with AKC Reunite Lifelong registration when they go to their new homes. I do Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) on all my puppies from day 3 to day 16.
