AFFORDABLE PRICES

 

 

As a family business, our driving force is not monetary gain (though it keeps us going). We believe animals cannot and must not be sold. Just like our human babies, puppies cost almost nothing to breed (except for the food and vet bills) so the colossal prices you will notice everywhere are most often set by individuals for their own gain. What we charge “Sell them for” is simply a minimal cost to cover all expenses incurred during the breeding process and to enable us to continue breeding even more beautiful puppies so as to continue spending the joy that comes with having a furry friend
