I'm Kimberly B., the breeder behind Patch of Pines located in Ocala, FL. I am not a kennel and only have limited litters. We breed for excellent temperament as well as health and confirmation. Our puppies go home with a great foundation and start on their training. They are beautiful and highly intelligent and will steal your heart. Typical colors are Creme and Apricot.
