Christine Shute

Christine Shute breeds dogs in Portland, Maine, in the Pine Tree State. She has been active in national kennel clubs for several years and follows breed-specific health testing protocols recommended by the registry. Adult dogs reside indoors as part of the family and spend time each day socializing with children, guests and farm animals.

The farmstead features a mix of indoor living spaces and shaded yards where puppies explore under supervision. Nutrition is tailored to each growth stage, and early handling routines help develop stable temperaments. Owners have praised the steady energy levels and calm nature of their dogs throughout puppyhood and beyond. Litter placements include guidance on crate training, local veterinarian contacts and community group resources.

Bloodlines trace to companions and working dogs, offering balanced drives in everyday settings. All breeding dogs undergo annual wellness examinations, dental checks and temperament assessments. Each puppy goes home with age-appropriate toys and a record of vaccinations and deworming.
