Breeding for the whole dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are not full-time breeders. Our home is shared with just two or three dogs at any given time, and every one of them is a family member first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Health first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No dog is bred before two years of age or before completing every health screening recommended by the breed club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Raised in the home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Puppies start on Puppy Culture protocols for socialization and early training, long before they meet their new families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Fed real food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A balanced raw diet, with recipes written by a certified canine nutritionist, from the first meal onward. About our raw diet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
