I'm Roy M., the breeder behind RUFF DOG KENNELS located in Ohio. We are committed to always responsibly breeding with the best interest of our puppies’ health and longevity at the forefront. We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
