Our Philosophy

Our thorough yet friendly process ensures that each puppy goes to a home where they will thrive, and that you get a companion that matches your energy and experience level.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you ship puppies?

We prefer you pick up your puppy in person, but we can arrange for a flight nanny at the buyer's expense for long-distance travel.

What food do you use?

We raise our puppies on a mix of high-quality kibble and raw supplements. We will provide a bag of food for the transition.

Are parents health tested?

Absolutely. All parent dogs are DNA tested for genetic diseases common to the breed and have OFA hips/elbows clearances.

Can I visit the puppies?

For the safety of the unvaccinated puppies, we only allow visits from approved families after the puppies are 6 weeks old.
