Pettibone was our first dog, and while she's retired now, she still makes sure the premises is secure at all times! Don't even think about trying to sneak up on our place - Petti won't let that happen! While she is not busy with her day job, she enjoys laying in the yard with her ball and showing off the fact that she's just quick enough that nobody can get it from her - besides Ox.
Someone has to keep the boss in line...and that's this guy's job! Armani was our first stud dog, and he's Jenna's baby! He's our alpha dog, and also makes sure that Jenna is getting her exercise in and getting daily snuggles!
Ox was our first puppy ever born with a cleft palate. We learned a lot taking care of him when he was a puppy, and all just fell in love with him! We named him Ox because he's always been SO strong and determined even for having a little disability! Today, he mainly enjoys being feisty and stealing the ball from all the big dogs, and snorting his way through life with his silly little antics!

BREEDING & WHELPING TEAM

They ensure that each mom has round-the-clock monitoring until her puppies arrive, and then make sure that each puppy is healthy when the arrive by checking on them all hours of the day and night! These four also serve as our ICU team, so if a puppy is in trouble, they are sure to give it the absolute best chance to not only survive, but thrive. Click through to get to know them!
