I'm the breeder behind BHD Farms located in Fredericktown, OH. Our dogs are bred for health, and temperament first, conformation second, and colors last.
All of our dogs are genetic and health tested. Our dogs live inside with us and our two children, and have a large secure back yard to play in. We also run a farm and the dogs love coming to the barn with us.
