I'm Tara W., the breeder behind Padgetts Hill Puppies located in Natural Bridge, VA. How we raise our puppies at Padgett Hill Pups!
We see the difference in our puppies from the amount of love and care our family gives to each puppy. Our puppies are confident, love to be held, socialized, exposed to new sights and sounds, and most importantly we start the foundation of trusting people. We raise our puppies in our home with our 3 daughters. Together we all add something unique to our program.
