Health

Our puppies and dogs are fed a varied diet including both dry and raw foods. Puppies are wormed every 2 weeks and receive their first vaccinations at 6 weeks of age. Our breeding dogs are DNA tested for PRA, NCL, MPS, OI, and SDMD, and we also screen for MMVD to help support the health and longevity of our lines.
