A Chocolate/Black litter is planned for spring 2010. We anticipate the breeding to take place in March with puppies ready for their new home in July.

** All the puppies from Darcy Lu's litters have made great family pets, easily trained with gentle temperaments.

If you are interested in a puppy from this upcoming litter, first complete and submit our "Puppy Questionnaire". I will then contact you with further information. Please call to arrange a visit time if you would like to meet our gentle Darcy Lu.
