Our program
How we raise them, and the health work behind it.
Two halves of one promise. A daily life that builds confident companions, and the screening that makes every pairing a responsible one.
care you can see, testing you can ask about
How we raise
From our living room to yours.
-
Born in our home
Litters arrive here, in the house we live in. From the first day, every puppy belongs to a family setting, not a facility.
-
Handled from the first week
Frequent, gentle handling with a focus on comfort and safety. Confidence starts in warm hands, long before a puppy can explore on their own.
-
The household is the classroom
Everyday sounds, household activity, children and steady human interaction. Positive, regular exposure is what early socialization means here.
-
Thoughtfully prepared for you
Clean, structured and nurturing surroundings through every stage of early development, so a puppy meets their new family confident and well adjusted.
Health
Screening comes before every pairing.
OFA screenings
Parents are evaluated with the Orthopaedic Foundation for Animals, so we know what a dog could pass down before we ever pair them.
Respiratory function
Breeding pairs are tested for BOAS, Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome, so pairings are chosen with clear, open breathing in mind.
DNA clearance
Genetic panels identify carriers of inherited conditions, including Cystinuria Type 3 and juvenile cataracts, and keep them out of a pairing.
No test makes promises. Testing puts real information on the table before two dogs are ever matched, and we will show you exactly what has and has not been done.
What we breed toward
The dog at the end of all this.
Built to the standard
Short, compact and correct.
We breed toward standard conformation: a short, compact body, strong bone, and the correct head shape for the breed.
Chosen for temperament
Affectionate, steady, playful.
Disposition is selected on purpose. The goal has always been the same: an ideal family companion.
Ask us what has been tested.
Call and ask about any dog or pairing. We will answer plainly, including what has not been done yet.
Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Plain answers, in our own words. If yours is not here, call and ask us directly.
Regular, positive exposure to household activity, everyday sounds and human interaction from the first weeks, with frequent gentle handling focused on comfort and safety.
BOAS stands for Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome. Respiratory function testing looks at how clearly and easily a dog breathes, so breeding pairs are chosen with open airways in mind.
No, and we will never tell you it does. Screening gives us real information, and we use it before any pairing is made.
DNA panels identify carriers of inherited conditions, including Cystinuria Type 3 and juvenile cataracts, so those conditions are kept out of a pairing instead of discovered later.
