I'm the breeder behind Country Time Kennels located in Argyle, IA. Our focus is on breeding healthy and happy puppies that can bring just as much joy to their families as our dogs do for us. We are very hands-on with our puppies and give them plenty of unconditional love and attention!
Our pups our farm raised by a family of 7. We have a 5 year old who helps us socialize, two 14 year olds, and then 3 adults. We also have regular family visitors who love giving the pups some one on one time.
