Every puppy comes with an International Standard Microchip. Weโre grateful for every client who has trusted us, whether itโs been for one puppy or several.
A background and masters in international business management, a love of animals and a desire to combine those two passions led us to embark on this venture over two decades ago.

From time to time, it is important to let our community know about how we source our puppies. Especially now when we have seen such awful news about seriously dubious practices of some highly unethical breeding.
We have been in business since 1997 and it is a testament to working with some of the best breeders in the nation. In fact, we are amongst the most regulated sources of puppies in the county, and for that matter, the country. Backyard breeders, puppy mills, and hoarder houses are not regulated. All of our breeders must meet a premium standard of care. They MUST have clean government inspection records consecutively year over year.
Many of our puppies come from breeders who have paid a lot of money for Canine Care Certification.
Over the years we have provided family after family with bundles of joy, and in those years we have also added three of those bundles of joy to our own family. We own a beautiful Pekingese named Button, a Italian Greyhound named Mico, and our Chihuahua, China(pronounced Cheena). Had we the space, we probably would have a whole village of these magnificent and giving creatures in our homes!
