We are trying to eliminate the unfortunate event other pups have by not having enough exposure resulting in difficult behavior as they mature. Why is this important?
Because your new family member deserves more at a better start to socialization, training, compassion and love. If you want a puppy mill dog please look in the paper there are plenty to choose from.
We are not in the breeding business, and will not be selling to any breeders. Hazel is a member of our family and we would not have any less for her puppies. If you are unable to provide a loving atmosphere in which your new dog gets lots of attention and is not locked in a kennel for long periods of time, we respectfully ask that you do not purchase from us.
