Who are we? I (Daphne) am usually the one who answers emails and phone calls. A few years ago, I added
my mothers Chihuahuas to my web site, sometimes you may be speaking to or emailing her. I started in 1993 with a pair of English
Mastiffs of the best quality and champion pedigrees. I raised several litters from that pair and learned a great deal
during those years. There were years of success and some of failure, happiness and tears. I decided to no longer raise English
Mastiffs in 2005 with the loss of my older Mastiffs. A home without dogs is not a happy home for me, so I began researching
other breeds. I added Snuggles the Pug to our home in 2005. It was a big change for us, we went from huge dogs that like
to sleep at your feet to a crazy little clown with a curly tail. One Pug can never be enough, so we soon added several more
to keep us company. I still have my Pugs and occasionally have a litter available that I post on this site. In 2007 I
adopted "Nikki Hear No Evil" our deaf white French Bulldog, life has not been the same since, but in a good way.
I LOVE the Frenchie personality and most importantly the French Bulldogs play great with my Pugs. We now have Nikki who is
spayed and 2 boys named Polar Bear & Houdini. Our boys occasionally father a litter of pups for a friend. When my
French Bulldog boys father a litter, I post any available pups on my site along with their owners information. I am hoping
to begin raising Frenchtons in the future, French Bulldog dad and Boston Terrier mom. The Chihuahuas on this site belong
to my mother, she shares her home with several Chihuahuas and occasionally has a litter available. We both take our dogs very
seriously, careful consideration is given as to which vaccines, dewormer, shampoo or flea treatments to use, just because
it's available doesn't mean it's safe for every breed. We also research and keep our dogs on the best food for them to maintain
a healthy and happy dog. A litter of pups being born at my house is a BIG deal, for myself, my husband and our
son. We don't have puppies very often, but when we do you can count on them being well socialized. They are raised in our
home as part of our family. Pups have early skills at watching talk shows in the recliner with a teen-ager, listening
to country and bluegrass music, watching the vacuum cleaner and all the sounds and happenings of a family home. My dogs are
just that....my dogs, I do not have dozens of kennels and dozens of dogs, but I do have some very special pets that
produce some outstanding puppies. I am the oldest of 3 sisters and the black sheep of my family :) One sister is currently
an LPN and working to be an RN and the other earning her degree in Psychology. I on the other hand have spent the last 15
years where I am happy...at home with my dogs. I am not interested in current fashions, home furnishings or make up. I am
not uneducated, I just happened to take my education in a different direction. I have became very good over the years at
whelping, newborn puppy CPR, vaccinations, sub-q fluids, bottle feeding, first aid and artificial inseminations
in dogs of all sizes from 200+ pound English Mastiffs to 3 pound Chihuahuas. I decided to start a web site several years ago
to share some of the crazy pics I take of my dogs and available pups with friends and family. It turned out to be an amazing
way to share my love of dogs with others. I am always amazed at the number of views to our web site and the number
of emails I receive. I try to be available to talk with families about my dogs and pups as much as possible however,
I am also a wife, mother, daughter and sister...sometimes my time runs a little short
