About us
Our Program
We are a small breeding program in east Texas that primarily focuses on two main objectives. First and foremost, keeping this amazing breed true to their original roots. Making them stronger and healthier with each litter born. The second objective, and just as important as the first, is health. Our puppies are purposely & responsibly bred for health with a strong emphasis on temperament and socialization. All of our parents have been genetically health tested. We are committed to providing families with a healthy, top quality pet and companion.
