What makes Candace’s program special
I breed for health and the betterment of the breed. I care very much were my puppies go, you will become apart of my extended family. I love to keep in touch, I do require pictures of the puppy to be sent to me every now and then. I will always be around to answer any questions or concerns or if you just want to talk. I stand behind my puppies 100 percent and do take them back if the need arises.
This breeder has no available puppies at the moment.
