A Bit of Background
How We Got Started
We started breeding these wonderful dogs a few years ago. Originally we did not plan to operate as a Pet Breeder, we just wanted a wonderful pet for ourselves. However, we became hooked and soon we added a second and then a third one to our family.
After acquiring a lot of information about the breeding process, we decided to do our part in preserving it, which led to the birth of our Southwest Missouri business. Since then, we’ve known so much love, joy and excitement! Contact us to find out more.
"Why don't we sell under 3 months of age? I want a really small puppy."
The answer to this is quite simple. It is our belief that a puppy isn't emotionally stable if the puppy is sold under 3 months of age. We know the temptation to buy a small puppy is great but wouldn't you rather have your puppy fully emotionally settled, not being rushed off of weaning at 5 weeks of age just to make a quick buck. We don't breed to make money. We breed for the betterment of the breed and want to make sure you get the best puppy possible. We don't start to wean until the puppy is at least 8 weeks of age. We feel this gives the puppy good socialization time with its mother. It is against code ethics to sell any puppy under 3 months of age.
Pet Resolution
As a breeder it is my responsibility to make sure our over populated dog world doesn't get more over populated. We put care into finding just the right home for our puppies. Most people think breeders are hypocrites for trying to keep other people from breeding while they are still breeding. The only reason breeders breed is to try to get better quality puppies from every generation. People can't understand general conformation (the quality of the dog) without a lot of study. It is much like going to school. That is why we want to keep the breeding to the professionals. You wouldn't hire a butcher to defend you in a murder trial, would you? So why breed if you really don't know everything that you are doing? It is like being a doctor....that is why they intern before they practice their craft. They need to know exactly what they are doing so they don't injure the patient. If you want to breed, we are not discouraging you. We will mentor people seriously wanting to breed dogs.
