Welcome to Los Suenos

• Our puppies are born in the house and remain there for the first 4 weeks of their lives and are then allowed out in safe runs or the back yard for new experiences and adventures.
• We have an intimate knowledge of each pups structure, temperament and talents.
  
• Our Show/Performance pups are picked for correct structure, temperament, bidability, and responsiveness.
• Pet puppies may have a minor color fault, or structural fault that would make them unavailable to a conformation or performance home but they would make wonderful family pets.
• We do not sell by eye color so if you are looking for a blue eyed blue merle, please look elsewhere.
  
• If there are several pups with the personality to fit your home, there will sometimes be a choice of puppies you can pick from, otherwise we will pick for the prospective buyer.
  

We make the choice of what pup goes to what home based on answers to the below questions-
