Melissa’s experience

    There’s nothing I love more than spending time with my dogs! I decided to start a responsible, in-home breeding program in order to produce quality dogs that are healthy, happy, and beautiful. I knew it was truly my calling when I realized the joy of helping others find puppy love!

    I take great care planning each litter to ensure I am producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can possibly provide. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!
