This here is our Chi Chi, and when you see her she looks like she is dancing the cha cha--she just gets so excited! Its truly a joy to visit with this gal. She will wiggle and wag and run in circles, but then she is ready to be leashed and be on her way with you! When she spends time in the park, she runs around joyfully, and then she is ready for some training! This smart girl knows sit and "touch" and "find it" and may have a few more tricks up her sleeve, like giving her paw. Truly the sky is the limit here! So if a smart and happy dog is what you need, you may just have found her!

The Mastiff, a large and powerful breed with a history dating back to ancient times, is known for its gentle and loyal nature. These dogs are devoted family companions, often forming strong bonds with their owners. Despite their imposing size, Mastiffs are typically calm and patient, making them excellent protectors and watchdogs. With a distinctive wrinkled face and a massive build, Mastiffs require proper training and socialization to thrive in various environments.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
