Our dogs are selectively bred and raised to produce balanced drive, biddable personality, even temperament, work ethic, and intelligence with appropriate health clearances.

What makes Denise’s program special
Morgan Mills focuses on puppy development, incorporating Puppy Culture and Early Neurological Stimulation protocols.

We love what we do and look forward to connecting with you!
