We are not back yard breeders---- we have researched our breed and breeding practices and continue to learn, the health and welfare of our dogs comes first. We research and choose our breeding stock carefully, And we take responsibility for our puppies.

This is not to start an argument, it is to clarify exactly who we are.

Many people believe that if one is not a show breeder, they are either a puppy miller or a byb. We are non of the those. We do it because we love it and we love our dogs.

Our dogs are more than a status symbol or a dollar sign. Just like with any other hobby, we do it because we love to do it. We get our gratification from just having the dogs and raising healthy puppies, and improving on what we do.
