Since certain breeds are at risk for genetic conditions like hip, eye, and heart problems, responsible breeders should have their dogs evaluated and tested for diseases and ultimately “certified” disease-free. We have carried out DNA and PRA tests through Orivet to ensure we are breeding the best quality puppies for you and your family.

Asking questions will make you feel more comfortable about welcoming a new pet into your home. Proper and responsible breeding, appropriate healthcare, and socialization will make a big difference in how healthy your puppy is and how happy they are with their new homes.
Regardless of what i am feeding, it is ideal to continue feeding the same food for the first few days at home to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal distress. If you choose to change a puppy’s diet, do it gradually. You will get a bag of dry premium puppy biscuits that will last your for the first week of having your puppy.
