Others may charge less, but you get what you pay for when it comes to a puppy! We do extensive genetic and health testing, which ensures you are getting the best puppy on the market! Unlike many breeders, our puppies are born and live inside our home, they are held and played with several times a day, and socialize with other dogs and puppies.
Genetic Testing:
- Parents and breeding prospect puppies are given a OFA Eye Certification Exam previously known as (CERF) by a certified Ophthalmologist.
- Parents are Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) certified
- Parents and breeding prospect puppies are genetically tested through Embark, Animal Genetics, Pawprints, and DDC. This allows us to test 230+ genetic health risks, Coefficient of Inbreeding (COI), autoimmune disorders, 35 traits such as size, coat color, texture, and shedding along with much more.
