Foster homes. 

​

It is important to us to keep our quality in raising both our puppies and adult dogs in our home to maintain relationships with each of them.  We choose not to keep our dogs in a kennel type environment because we don't feel that is fair to them. They were made for relationships with people, and they want to be with us and to be a part of our daily lives. However, in order to keep a good breeding program with a wide variety of genetics it requires us to have more dogs than we have time to maintain quality relationships with on a daily basis. This is where our Foster homes come in. We send some of our dogs (most typically our males because we also like to avoid accidental breedings!) to live with friends and family as their own pet. They live near us so we can easily visit and "share" the dogs when we need to borrow them for breeding purposes.

Our Foster families LOVE being foster homes! They basically get to have one of our already trained, beautiful, healthy, fantastic dogs  as their own, essentially for FREE! Foster homes simply pay for maintenance type expenses (food, heart-worm, flea meds) that they would for any of their own dogs. We love seeing our dogs get so much love and attention from their foster families it's worth it to let them go :( We love our dogs so much we don't let them go to just anyone. Of course we do an interview and visiting process before we let them go, but it is essential that we KNOW the foster family very well. We want communication, honesty, responsibility and friendship with each family.
