Puppy Suitability Rating
| Our suitability rating system used along with our special "Puppy Learning Course" is a good way for us to help our puppies develop, we use the learning course to rate each puppy on an individual basis. This process helps us match puppy personalities with their new owners. As you can tell by our pictures (coming soon) all of this is done in a very low key, non-threatening manner. The puppies are never stressed, they are just having fun! |
