Q. & A. with Rustee
What makes your program special?
Our program has such an amazing start for the puppies. They are loved and cared for every single day and my two very young children are so actively involved that the puppies are so accustomed to kids it is really amazing to watch them grow together.Where do your breeding dogs live?
