Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Denise Clark located in Bowling Green, KY. All of our puppies are raised in a loving family environment, with children. We start handling the puppies at about 2 weeks of age when they receive their first worming medicine. After that, they are handled a little longer each day. This ensures a happy, well-socialized puppy.
