“I am happy for you to come to our home or meet me at an airport. I am not fond of shipping puppies as cargo but have had good experience with flying them in passenger area. Also, I have delivered for a fee.”
Why Jennifer started breeding
I began breeding Curlies because I wanted to train my own dogs and start from scratch. My line is very old and they are amazing working dogs.
