Health
A super clean environment, bedding washed daily,twice daily weigh in, wormed every 2 weeks. Monitor they are warm, clean, feeding confidently.

I was recommended in getting a therapy dog and I chose my beautiful Shanna. I absolutely fell in love of her beautiful temperament and placid nature and ever so…
Our special touch
I begin human interaction and touch and massage to my litters from 1 week of age. I feel this gives them a beautiful, happy temperament.
