Our dogs are selectively bred and raised to produce balanced drive, biddable personality, even temperament, work ethic, and intelligence with appropriate health clearances. We strive to produce happy, healthy puppies that can continue to excel in their forever homes.

    Morgan Mills focuses on puppy development, incorporating Puppy Culture and Early Neurological Stimulation protocols. A confidence course is used as part of their play, with teeters, tunnels, and balance toys to improve their confidence and ability to respond to unexpected movement, changes in the environment, and startle recovery.
