Our Dogs & Parents

Our mothers are part of our family, not just part of a breeding program. Their care matters before, during and after raising puppies. The first weeks of a puppy's life revolve around the mother: feeding, warmth, rest and a calm environment help support the litter as the puppies begin to grow.

Our site describes our breeding dogs as AKC registered and health screened, with vaccinations, deworming and veterinary care kept up to date. Ask us for the individual mother's registration and available health records. Registration identifies a dog's recorded lineage; it does not replace health screening or veterinary advice.

When you enquire about a puppy, we can discuss its mother and the information available for that litter. We do not use a photograph to promise a puppy's adult size, personality or future health.

Knowing the father is an important part of learning about a puppy's background. We welcome questions about the father of the puppy you are considering, including his registration, available health information and the characteristics of the parent dogs. A confirmed parent pairing should come from our family and its records, not from similarities between photographs.

Our breeding program's stated care includes screening eyes, hearts, knees and back health, along with routine vaccinations, deworming and veterinary attention. Ask which examinations and records are available for the individual father; general information about our program is not a substitute for his own records.

Both parents contribute to a puppy's background, but puppies also develop as individuals. We encourage families to focus on the puppy's needs and the care they can provide rather than expecting an exact copy of either parent.
