Puppies grow up in a cozy home and spend time outdoors on family-owned farmland, with early exposure to gentle handling and everyday household sights. They receive regular play sessions on nearby nature trails to build confidence and social skills. Adults share living space with the family, enjoying balanced exercise and mental stimulation. Many of Rasann’s dogs have gone on to earn agility and obedience titles, reflecting sound structure and temperament. Each puppy meets adult dogs, children, and small animals in secure play areas to foster well-rounded temperaments. Throughout, there is a steady emphasis on health, temperament and lasting family bonds.
