WHERE WE HAVE BEEN

Listed below are dogs of ours that we either produced or owned, have been retired/spayed/neutered, and with the exception of one or two, have found forever homes where they can be the pride and joy of their new owners.  Each and every dog has a special place in our hearts and will always be loved and missed.
