About the Breeder
A little about us
I am relatively new to breeding and my mamas are first and foremost much loved family members. We strive to provide healthy, well rounded and independent fur babies for families.
Why we got involved in breeding
We decided to get into breeding because we absolutely love these breeds and want to share the pure love and joy that these guys bring to us, with other families.
Our special touch
We raise our babies by combining the badass breeder and puppy culture programs, which result in very confident, well adjusted puppies. We have ensured health by DNA testing our mamas and also ensuring studs are also dna tested and cleared.
