Here’s what sets our program apart:
🏡 Raised in a Real Home Our puppies grow up in our home, surrounded by everyday life. This early exposure helps them transition more easily and confidently into their new families.
💛 Temperament Comes First After 30+ years with this breed, we know that personality matters just as much as appearance. We focus on producing affectionate, confident companions you’ll truly enjoy living with.
🧬 Experience You Can Trust With decades of hands-on experience, we understand early development, recognize personality traits, and guide each puppy through those critical first weeks.
🤝 Carefully Matched, Not Just Sold We take the time to get to know our families and place each puppy based on the best overall fit—not simply who inquires first.
🐶 A Strong Start That Lasts From daily handling to early socialization, we focus on building a solid foundation so your puppy is prepared for life beyond our home.
📞 Support Beyond Pickup Day We remain available to our families for guidance and support, because we care about how our puppies grow—not just where they go.

Most of our puppies are expected to mature in the 4-6 pound range as adults. However, the exact adult size can’t be determined early on and becomes clearer as each puppy develops, and we’re able to observe their individual growth patterns.
Please note that adult weight is not guaranteed. Any estimates are based on past litters and general growth charts and should be considered a guideline rather than a certainty.

FUTURE FAMILIES of MY PUPPIES
To ensure the best possible match for both my puppies and their new families, I like to learn a little more about each home.
It’s my responsibility to both the puppy and its mom to place them where they will truly thrive.
