This is our 3rd year breeding, and we do it out of love. 1 litter a year for the joy and experience. Home made birth certificates of each puppy, handmade pillows that the puppies sleep with so when they leave they smell like their litter mates for comfort while they settle into their new home. All puppies are loved and played with like our own until they go to their new homes. Mum is very very loved member of the family.
