All of our puppies are well socialized with people and dogs. They are learning to be potty trained basic manners. Our dogs are happy, healthy, and loving dogs waiting for their next person.

Q. & A. with Susan

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bought my male in 2024 with the idea that he and I would do agility and use him as a stud dog. The breeder that I got him from called in 2025 and she was downsizing and wanted me to have one of her females as I offer a great home.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are moyen size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Vet Wellness Exam

    A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
