What he loves
Violet (his best friend). Poppy (mostly). Tennis balls (briefly). Sitting in laps he definitely does not fit in.

Chief.
our goofy boy
"Chief is still a kid himself — eight months of legs and ears — but he's already showing the temperament we hoped for. Polite indoors, ridiculous outdoors, soft as butter with our four kids."

What makes Chief him.
What he's doing
Growing into himself. He'll be a big boy — 200 lb territory, easy.
What he gives his puppies
A playful streak. Confidence with people. The biggest, gentlest paws you've ever seen.
Health & Temperament
Clear, calm, and cleared.
Chief sees our family vet for routine care. We did a pre-breeding workup before this litter, and the results are on file — happy to share them with approved homes.
We're not running a titled show kennel; we're a family. Health screens reflect what a good vet can confirm in our area.

About his papers.
Chief came to us without papers, so we don't have his sire or dam on record. What we can vouch for is his temperament and the dog he's grown into.
Not AKC Registered · No papers — he came to us without them

Parentage
Not on file
Chief came to us as a young pup without registration papers. We can't speak to who his sire and dam were — only to the dog he is now.
