Puppies grow up underfoot in a family home with daily interaction, supervised yard time and exposure to farm sounds. Socialization routines introduce puppies to children, common household sounds and gentle handling from day one. Daily meals consist of balanced nutrition formulated for growth and energy needs, and the property includes a dedicated training area plus separate exercise paddocks.

Owner Rebecca Miller-Selby draws on her background in animal behavior to guide each puppy’s early training foundation. Their litters come from multi-generation lines traced to working kennels on rural pastures. Families often remark on the pups’ calm temperament and adaptability in home and community settings.
