When choosing a breeder, there are a few things that you should be cautious about and aware of when deciding who to purchase your puppy from. The terms "puppy mill", "puppy farm" and "backyard breeder" are terms that usually bring a negative connotation to the mind of puppy buyers, but what exactly do these terms mean?

The terms puppy farm and puppy mill are basically interchangeable and the negative connotations that come with these phrases are often true. Puppy farms and mills are commercially run and are almost always in the puppy business for pure profit. Because of this emphasis on money, many of these mills and farms have harsh conditions for the puppies to live in. Puppy mills and farms account for an average of half a million puppies born into the United States each year.
A backyard breeder is very similar to a puppy mill except it is generally a small scale operation with fewer animals.
Our puppies are AKC registered and raised in favorable conditions. When you purchase your puppy from us, you can meet the puppy's mother and you will receive a clean bill of health after a checkup from our licensed veterinarian. They come with a signed contract and have been socialized by living in close proximity to our family.
