Ohpuppylove Value's Stable, Safe, and Loving Temperaments.
Starting with our Parents and their lineage is of Vital IMPORTANCE
in our Breeding Program.
We are especially careful to not pass along any negative traits found
in parents and their lines.
We offer 1 Year "Temperament Guarantee".
Note: If puppy is not Trained Properly,
is can cause problems later down the road - they will develop bad habits.
This is not the puppies fault. This is not the Result of Bad Breeding.
