Responsible Breeding
Being a responsible breeder means prioritizing the health and well-being of both the animals and their future owners. Limiting breeding to only one to two litters per year or even every other year, allows breeders to focus on the proper care, socialization, and placement of each puppy, ensuring they go to loving, well-prepared homes.
Responsible breeding isn’t about quantity; it’s about quality, compassion, and long-term commitment to the breed’s health and temperament.
