May Round-Up

May has certainly brought a beautiful bouquet of lovely puppy flowers! We have puppies available now, so pass the word along to other active families you may know. :-)

As you know, we love what we do! We used to call ourselves “hobby” breeders or a “hobby” farm, but we’ve now decided to remove the word “hobby.” We are high-quality breeding professionals, setting the standard for the industry! I talk about it more here in this video.

As usual, this month has been a whirlwind and we’ve loved every minute of it! Here is what we’ve been up to for the past month:

Welcome to our new, happy FADA families! See a sweet family meet their pup for the first time here. In these videos, meet a precious girl puppy getting ready to meet her family! Meet her here, see her get a bath here, and see a new use of overalls here!

Living the life!

Our dogs are “free-range” because they live and play with us on the farm. We feel a quality life means quality dogs. Enjoy the below video clips of our dogs living their best lives.

Tips and Information

At best, fleas and ticks are a supreme nuisance at best and dangerous parasites at worst. They can drive our dogs and us crazy with the itching they cause. They can also carry icky, scary things like tapeworm and Lyme disease. Click here to learn about fleas and ticks and what I do for my own dogs.
