Program update on 03 Sept 2025 •…Although all of our puppies are marked as reserved, only 2 are truly unavailable. We work differently than most breeders where we are only taking 4 deposits (1 for each puppy) and will be holding off on the selection process until the puppies are 3 weeks old. This allows us to properly match you with not only the coloring but the personality of the puppy as well.
