What Sets Us Apart
We believe what sets us apart from most breeders is the ability for our dogs to truly live their best lives. This is largely in part to our multiple locations. This approach to our breeding program allows all of our dogs to live in our home and amongst the family on a daily basis, versus spending most of their time in a kennel or dog run. We feel this is incredibly important to the overall well-being of our dogs and ultimately has a tremendous impact on the health and well-being of the puppies they produce.
All our female dogs give birth to their litters inside our home, and the puppies spend their first weeks inside the home with our family. We feel an enormous ethical obligation to limit our females to a maximum of 6-7 litters, at which point they are retired. Mom did not ask to be pregnant and the puppies did not ask to be born.
Once they have arrived as the breeder planned, we must take care of them with diligence and sincerity. We as a family work to perfect this task on a daily basis. Genetic health, disposition, conformation and coat color are most important to us. Show ring ability is NOT our focus, but definitely an added bonus! We believe that, as breeders, we have an important responsibility to provide proper socialization and new experiences for puppies, so they are ready for a happy life with their new family.
