Maeve - Red Merle Boy - Is with Sean & Family in MN

"Good morning! Your advice on spending 1:1 time with both dogs has worked WONDERS! She's fully adjusted and is doing so so so well. No accidents for weeks, recall is pretty good (for a 3 month old), she can sit, stay, lay down, touches on command, and sits patiently for things she wants. She's also fully desensitized to paws, ears, and mouth touching...the vet LOVES her. Her affection has gone WAY up and her food motivation has increased dramatically. She and Hux are still best friends. Just wanted to say thank you for the advice, it's been a huge help."

Lobor Of Love

That's all what it is!
As mentioned earlier, this is all a Labor Of Love. Considering the many hours around the clock it takes to raise a healthy active intelligent litter of puppies, we are not in this to turn a profit. Sure there are cheaper ways of breading and raising puppies, but that is not what we set out to do. We do this for those few families that understand and appreciate our efforts.
