Hello! We have a friendly farm dog as a pet and we raise our puppies with her as a hobby. Our 3 youngest children really enjoy playing with the puppies and bathing them! Neva is 8 and Lucy is 6 and they love to cuddle the puppies. Joas is our youngest and he loves to play with the puppies. The mother is very friendly around children. We look forward to helping you find your new puppy!
