General News

April 2021 News 

This year is going better for us as far as puppy production.  We've had two litters of six healthy puppies, so there are 12 happy new owners so far this year.  And we have just bred another girl.  I have opened up the waiting list for additions again, and it has become pretty long again.  But you're welcome to apply to be added if you are ready to wait for a puppy.  Several shows have finally been scheduled in MI, so we will be starting that again beginning the end of next month.  Unfortunately, at this time, they are still saying no spectators, only those entered in the show are being allowed in.  Hope everyone has a nice summer in spite of the remaining restrictions we must follow.
