Our dogs come from excellent bloodlines, both American and English, and are bred not only to be excellent show dogs, but also wonderful companions.
All prospective puppy owners are carefully interviewed before placement. The puppies will receive their first set of vaccinations and be dewormed before they leave for their new homes. All puppy owners will receive the proper paperwork for future registration with the J.R.T.C.A. All of our puppies also come with written health and registration guarantees.
