"Animals are the family member you get to choose."
They aren't just pets, to me their family. I have been working with animals ever since I can remember, I started breeding three years ago & I love what I do. My puppies are raised indoor/outdoor and will be working on basic commands, housebreaking/kennel training, leash walking and car rides. They will be very well socialized with people, kids, cats and other dogs. I get the puppies ready to take on the world and help the new owner with the transition.
