Patricia and I are holding back Jet until at least 16 weeks to make an initial evaluation as to whether he will be kept longer for potential for show. He already exhibits outstanding traits. Come see us!

Topo Gigio and Peaches'n Creme have been adopted

Yesterday, Ruth fell in love with Topo, and shortly after that Caity and Patricia, after much consideration, decided that Peaches'n Creme was the perfect companion for their little male Bichon Teddy. Puppy pick up will begin around the middle to end of August. The more socialization the better.
