  • What makes Brandon’s program special

    What separates us from other programs is the amount of hands on love, affection, & attention that goes into each & every pup. For us it's important to not only ensure the pups are loved & fundamentally sound before going but making sure the mothers and fathers are happy health & loved. This process is so much deeper than a puppy. Love is rooted into our dogs far before they open their eyes.
