We are a dedicated breeding program based in East Texas, committed to two primary objectives. Our foremost priority is preserving the integrity of this exceptional breed by adhering to its original characteristics. Equally important is our focus on health. Our puppies are purposefully and responsibly bred with a strong emphasis on health, temperament, and socialization. All of our parent dogs undergo comprehensive genetic health testing via Embark to ensure the highest standards. We are devoted to providing families with healthy, top-quality pets and companions.
