This survey will help place our puppies with the right home. For example, a shy, quiet puppy may not be best with an active 3-year-old.

We are really excited about our puppies and breeding our standards. we are very committed to quality standards. Shining Mountains reflect our dream of eventually moving our kennel to Lincoln, Montana.

Breeding Standards began over three years ago, as we began selecting and testing our dogs for breeding. We have personally taken all through two levels of obedience training. Our dogs and Chuck are also currently involved in agility training.

Do you have any questions for us? _______________________________________________________________
