A little about our breeding practices:
We do not breed until the 2nd or 3rd heat cycle. Our moms to produce 3-4 litters in their breeding career, they are automatically retired at age 5, earlier if they have any challenges with breeding or motherhood. When the are retired they are spayed and adopted into excellent pet homes. We do not ever offer any adults for adoption that have not already been spayed/neutered.
Moms and Dads are always kept up to date on all healthcare needs, including Dental cleanings after EVERY litter!
We provide excellent medical care for our dogs and puppies, last year our vet costs were about $24,000.00. This is not because we have sick dogs, but healthy ones, because we believe in proactive health care.
We have full time help that is here 7 days a week, we pay them well and the dogs love them. Our staff is also available with a phone call if we have any unscheduled needs.
Our dogs and puppies are our life, literally. We do not take vacations, go to movies, go out to dinner, attend family functions. about every 1-2 years we do try to get away for a couple of days, but it is very difficult and very expensive, we must schedule around litters and puppy needs and pay for a trusted sitter to stay full time here while we are gone. Even then it is a "working" vacation, Still answering emails and taking phone calls.
