YES, as you can see from pictures of our puppies all over our Website, we raise very nice quality gorgeous looking puppies! We have very gorgeous adult dogs, some with Champion Bloodlines. Unless otherwise noted, all of our puppies are sold as pet quality only. This does not mean that none of our puppies are show quality, only that we make no such guarantees.
DO YOU GUARANTEE FITNESS FOR BREEDING?
NO, we do not guarantee fitness for breeding. This does not mean that none of our puppies are fit to breed, only that we make no such guarantees.
DO YOU GUARANTEE ADULT SIZE, WEIGHT, COLOR, OR TEMPERAMENT?
NO, weights given for puppies full grown are estimates only, and we do not guarantee adult size, adult weight, adult coat color, or temperament. There are too many factors involved in a dogs adult size, weight, coat color, and temperament to make any type of guarantees in this regard. For example a dogs adult weight is determined by: genetics, quality of feed, proper nutrition, proper exercise, environment, and the dogs health. When we estimate a puppies adult weight, we are basing our estimate on the weight of the perspective puppies parents.
DO YOU HAVE A WAITING LIST FOR FUTURE LITTERS?
YES, a $200 non-refundable deposit will get you on a list for future litters. We have a list for each of the breeds that we raise: Boston Terrier, Boxer, Chihuahua, and Pug.
HOW DOES THE LIST WORK?
It's simple, we have a list for each of the breeds that we raise: Boston Terrier, and Pug. Of these different lists for each breed, we have a separate list for each litter that is due. For example: If we have more than one expectant litter of Pugs, then there will be a list for each litter of pugs due. The first person to make a deposit is first on the list, and gets first pick of that litter. The second person to place a deposit gets second pick, and the third person gets third pick and so on.
HOW DO I GET ON THE LIST?
The next thing to do would be to contact us by email by clicking the pay phone at the top of the page, or call us at 660-734-0329. We will then inform you of puppies we have available now, and of any lists we have currently, and whether or not we are expecting any litters soon.

HOW OFTEN DO YOU FEED YOUR PUPPIES?
All of or puppies have automatic feeders that dispenses feed whenever the puppy is hungry. We recommend that food and water be available at all times so your new puppy can eat and drink whenever he/she wants to whether he is in the crate or out on the floor playing. We have found that this works the best, prevents over-eating, and promotes good health. See our Helpful Information page for more details.
WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR PUPPIES?
We feed our puppies Pro Pac Performance Puppy Food (purple bag). This is a high quality feed high in protein. See our Helpful Information page to find out where to purchase this feed.
WHICH IS MORE PREFERABLE, A MALE OR FEMALE?
Dispositions should never be determined by the sex of the puppy! You must look carefully at the individual puppy and choose. We can provide you will all the information necessary to pair the perfect match. We hate to see people pick a female because they want a female, especially our little male would really match the families personality better. Pick on personality...Not sex!
WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A SMALL DOG?
The life expectancy of a dog varies by breed, but on average is 14-16 years. With proper diet and a healthy environment a dog can live much longer.
WHEN IS A PUPPY CONSIDERED SOLD OR RESERVED?
