Lastly, We can NOT guarantee breed, we list the breed as suggested by our veterinarian, these animals are rescue/shelter/street/abandoned animals. Sometimes we know the parents, most times we do not. Our best guess on the breed is that - a guess. We are not breeders, we do not perform DNA tests on these animals.
