We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.** **DNA testing on an adoptable dog is available at the request and expense of the adopter. Please if you would like to request DNA testing on the dog you are interested in adopting to determine exact breed(s). There is a $50 fee for this service payable at time of request.** 6
