These beautiful dogs do not all live with our family. Only Henry does because my daughter just couldn't let him go. Our dogs are in carefully selected guardian homes with loving families and are not "kennel dogs".  On the contrary, they are spoiled as can be by their guardian families. They come to my home to be bred to either one of our stud boys in the program and return here when it is time to have their puppies.  They have their babies in our Master bedroom more times than not so we can always be nearby especially since more times than not our mamas give birth in the middle of the night. Would prefer they wouldn't, but if history dictates it is unfortunately the case. Of course, their puppies live in a family environment until it is time to join their forever families.
