Litters are evaluated for temperament and show potential at eight weeks old. The breeder is responsible for placing the puppies in the appropriate homes. Show prospect puppies are selected based on structure, show potential and always belong to the breeder for our own breeding/showing program or are placed in other show homes. Pet puppies are matched with homes based on temperament and suitability. As potential owners, you are encouraged to provide input through your questionnaire responses, phone and personal interviews. That input, along with my close observations and interactions with the puppies, are all used in my placement decisions. Please understand, I have decades of experience in this process and I will make the match I feel best suits your family and the puppy.
