Please show your support for ethical breeding in Georgia. Click on the links above to read the proposed bill.  
You, the public, hold the power to put puppy mills & backyard breeders out of business, hold pet owners accountable and make rescue organizations small again


Breeding rights extended to experienced/approved breeder/handlers only
If a breeder offers full registration with breeding rights upfront on any pup of your choice for an additional fee, they are a backyard breeder
If there are no pups in a litter going to potential AKC show homes, litter will be registered UKC and placed as pet homes only. This is to protect the integrity of the breed by weeding out any backyard breeder that needs AKC's name in order to sell a pup.

​
***$500 NON-REFUNDABLE Deposit is required to be placed on waiting list***
Once the babies are born and we determine which pup is the best fit for you, a deposit of $1000 is required to hold the pup until take home. The remaining balance of $1000 is due the day you take your pup home. 

All pups are $2500 regardless of color/sex or registration
