How to find information on available puppies.
Free Planned Breedings
Planning in advance is vital for breeders and puppy seekers.
It’s easy to think that “bloodlines” are only important if you are looking for a show or competition puppy, but the truth is that genetics are vitally important for every dog (and their owners).
It’s easy to think that if you buy a puppy from super star parents you will end up with a super star dog, but it’s not that easy. Everything that happens around and to your puppy matters, even as far back as the environment their mother grew up in, her health, and happiness, can affect her puppies and ultimately the dog you bring home.
