Laura Koch, Petit Jean Puppies Mission Statement "We feel that is important to set goals and to have a mission and purpose in whatever you do in life.  So, here are our goals, values and our purpose ! " To  have a positive influence in the profession of dog breeders. To enrich the lives of others by producing happy, healthy puppies.   To have a deeply committed compassion for animals! To love and cherish our adult parent dogs and to love and treat our puppies as if they were going to be our own.  To find them the most appropriate homes.  To influence their lives by nurturing them with the best start on life possible so they may lead long, healthy, happy lives.   To provide ongoing support to buyers for questions about health and training.   To encourage all pet owners to spay and neuter to help control unwanted pet populations. To only breed sound parents that have been vet approved.  To retire our adult parent dogs at an early age and have them placed in appropriate pet homes so they have good quality pet years left. ( also includes the many dogs that do not pass vet inspection.) To stay educated about each breed and their genetic health tendencies.  To know the characteristics of each breed and to help buyers match up with appropriate puppies. To inspire other dog breeders to be responsible thru education and association with dog breeder organizations. To always do what is right in God's eyes.
