My grandpa commented that he could have put a kid through college for what he had spent on his dogs in vet bills. So, I thought to myself that there should be healthier pets out there and since I had been in the medical / dental field and had bred chickens and rabbits that maybe I could do something about that. Hypoallergenic - as much as something can be anyway - was important along with a small size for the older population along with me who had had spine surgery and tore my ACL only a few years apart. I began this venture in 2021 and had my first litter in 2023.

I started with my boy Aslan whose mother is from Ukraine for diversity and to balance some traits in both lines. He has superb DNA, OFA's, and hair that is low maintenance. I found bloodlines from a chihuahua show handler in Mississippi retiring her shih tzu line with lineage from the show ring. With her guidance and contribution to my program I'm hoping to produce a pup worthy of the show ring.

Aslan, the handsome fella I am holding, is clear on all DNA disease and good or average on all OFA's including cardiac, patellas, eyes, hips, elbows, and dentition.
