When you are searching for the right breeder for you, regardless of the breed, it is important to go and talk to other people who have pups from that particular breeder to find out more about the dogs they have, and how they have turned out. This is called reference checking. We highly encourage prospective puppy people who are interested in one of our dogs to contact people who have our puppies to conduct reference checking. We are more than happy to supply names, email addresses and phone numbers to ensure you get as much information as you need.
In fact, we run a mailing list where you can freely post and collect the information you need. Click here to get more information about joining our email list. We do restrict list membership to those who are truly interested in getting one of our pups.
Below you'll find snippets of the feedback we have received from our puppy people just in May 2002:
Hi Jane, I didn't think I could ever replace my last dog, but this new puppy has more than filled the gap. Thanks. (May, 2003)
Jane, we cannot believe how fantastic our new pup is. He is better than we could have ever imagined. (May 2002)
We have done more winning with the pup you sent us Jane than we have ever had with any of our previous show dogs. (May 2002)
Jane, you selected the pup that truly matched the temperament we were looking for. Thank you. (May 2002)
Jane, I know you made me wait until the right pup was available, and it was the best thing you could have done. Thank you so much. (May 2002)
This pup is not even 9 months old, and already he has over a dozen Best in Class in Group awards. (May, 2002)
We strongly believe if you are going to get a dog, get a good one. A dog deserves to have both a beautiful mind, a beautiful body, and a beautiful soul. That's what we aim to breed.
We offer lifetime breeder support, and regularly run events to keep our puppy people connected, informed, educated, and having a good time with their pwd.
