Do your puppies come with a guarantee?
Our puppies come with a 3-year health guarantee.
Can we get a puppy just from seeing it on the website?
We want you, a family member, or a friend to meet the puppy before taking it. We like to meet you to make sure this is a good fit for everyone. If at all possible, we bring our pups to you in person.
