We are a very small breeder in the heart of the ozarks in Missouri. All of our puppies are VERY social and are raised around children of all ages. All of our puppies come with a health certificate, AKC registration as well as APRI, a pedigree, up-to-date shots, crate, puppy care package (this includes food, training treats,a toy,and puppy pads),a scrapbook of YOUR puppy from birth and most of all a lifetime home to return to in case you ever find yourself unable to care for the puppy. I begin using puppy pads when they are about 4 weeks old. They are very used to them and use them about 80% of the time when they are 8 weeks old. They are, also, crate trained. A puppy has so much to learn from their mother so I do not take them away from their mom. They are weaned off naturally and there is no separation anxiety. We love our babies and we try to place them in the best homes possible.
