We want to thank you for taking an interest in our Girls and Boys.  However, we would ask that you take a look at the following information and read it carefully before committing to one of our babies.  We take the breeding and home search for our puppies very seriously and we ask that you do the same.  We care about where our babies find homes and the family they will be residing with.  We want to stay in touch with those families on a regular basis and watch our babies grow and mature through their lives.  We admit that we are not perfect and don't expect the future homes of our puppies to be either, but, if we all work together, then problems that can and do come up can be addressed before hand.  We are very sensitive to this issue and we ask that you the future family to our babies be sensitive as well.  Thank you and we hope to hear from you.
