So much has happened since our last update!

 Since our last update in 2019, Promise's Lion King litter grew up beautifully and we kept a white female from the litter we now call Llelu! Hope had two beautiful litters, and in her second and final litter we kept a beautiful boy we named Preacher! Llelu received amazing results on her OFA health screenings after her second birthday, EXCELLENT Hips and NORMAL elbows! Preacher has been a rockstar in the showring and at just 9 months of age has already completed his UKC Championship! We also just welcomed today, our newest litter out of Llelu, sired by our male Judge! We will work on updating the blog as much as we can in the coming days! We are also excited to welcome Victor Taveira to the family! He and Sammy got married on 03/12/21 and we are so happy to have his love and support!
