Mother and puppies had their own private area inside where they could be
safe and not bothered by other dogs. Adult dogs had a very large yard with
heated kennels which were very clean - all of the adult dogs seemed very
happy and healthy. I think when I visited there was only one litter of
puppies and there were about 10 adult dogs.

>experience.We had excellent communication with the breeder from the day our puppy was born until we went to pick him up. She welcomed us for an on-site visit
when the puppies were only 2 weeks old. The adults were all very friendly
and happy - the dam was accepting of us and happy to have visitors. It was
evident immediately that Vicki's dogs were well cared for and loved. We
had visited other breeders where the dogs seemed like just a business and
were kept in off-site kennels with little human contact. Vicki's dogs are
her family and she cares for their well-being both on-site as well as when
they go to new homes. I would whole-heartedly recommend her puppies to anyone.
