Our approach

Our dogs are family first.

Our adult dogs live with us as cherished family members. We believe the care and attention they receive every day is reflected in the temperament and wellbeing of the puppies we raise.

CKC registered

Every puppy is registered with the Continental Kennel Club.

Microchipped

Each puppy is microchipped before going home.

Raised in our home

Puppies receive daily handling and socialization from our family.

Potty & crate training

Every puppy goes home with a head start on potty training and crate training.
