Jett, a new member of our family

We want to get another dog; dogs are pack animals and we think Iggy would like having a second dog, and another dog would get all the love and food and care they could desire.  The breeder that sold us Iggy has a smaller 11 month old female, Sissie – she brought her over today […]
