Why did you start breeding?

"Each puppy is provided with AKC registration (limited, unless sold specifically as a show puppy), is wormed, receives initial vaccinations, a microchip, and a health guarantee. Every puppy is examined by a licensed veterinarian and will come with a veterinary-issued health report card. Every puppy is placed under a contract designed to safeguard the puppy’s well-being while also protecting the buyer, ensuring responsible ownership and proper placement.

All of our puppies are priced the same, whether they are placed in a pet or show home. Because owning a puppy is a lifelong commitment, we ask that all prospective families carefully consider the responsibility involved before applying. "
