I'm DANA H., the breeder behind Southernend Silvers located in New Providence, PA. We decided to start breeding to share the best possible puppies with excellent personalities, temperament, and most of all health! We do our best to breed with total care by primarily focusing on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. As a result of our efforts, we’re positive our puppies will become perfect family members and add just as much joy to your life as they have ours!
