Q. & A. with Berlice

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My passion for breeding began at a young age while helping care for my family’s dogs and raise puppies. Those experiences inspired a lifelong dedication to canine health, behavior, nutrition, and ethical breeding. Through years of hands-on experience and continued education, I have committed myself to raising healthy, well-loved companions with purpose and care. 🤍🐾

  • What makes your program special?

    I don’t just raise puppies—I dedicate my life to animal care, education, nutrition, and storytelling. Every puppy is raised with intention, enrichment, proper nutrition, and endless love, while families receive lifelong support rooted in faith, compassion, and experience 🤍 they are what make me special! *Our puppies are sold as companions only and are not AKC registered.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include plush and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in a kennel on my property.

    Berlice is absolutely AMAZING!!! She helped so much with the process since we haven’t worked with a breeder before. She had so much knowledge and so many tips and tricks for us that has been so so helpful. I would recommend her 100x over. Our sweet girl Artemis is exactly as she described and was in such good care with Berlice. We are so grateful for her!!

    Berlice was awesome to work with. When we brought our sweet puppy home it was clear from the start that Berlice had worked with her on house manners and it wowed my wife and I. The do home bag and Puppy binder have been a huge blessing and show her love and dedication for these fur babies.

    Our story with arabesque 💜 Since the day we picked her up, we absolutely fell in love with her. From her fierce vocal personality to her deep stare that feels like she is looking into you soul, she is such an smart girl, she started following commands so quickly we were able to see how fast her training would’ve evolved. She is loving, sweet and active, everything you expect from a puppy. She has a strong personality that makes you listen and when she speaks and she will be heard. Through no fault of her own and more so for her benefit than anything else due to some unforeseen and sudden circumstances that forced us to increase our daily time away from home we ended up making the hard decision to return her to her initial home, given that a puppy requires extra of everything during their developmental stage; extra love, extra attention and very consistent training, our schedule wasn’t going to allow us to be present for as much time as she requires to have a good puppy life. So to her breeder Berlice is thank you, thank you for accompanying us through every part of the process, even through the hard period of making our decision final, thank you for the love you pour into you babies because it shows from day one how much love they grew with, from her potty training to her social skills, every piece separates this experience with her from other experiences we’ve had from breeders. So to Arabesque’s new family all I have to say is, you’re very lucky, this is a very sweet smart girl that will love you beyond your expectations, treasure her because we would’ve loved to see her grow into the beautiful dog she’ll be. We will love and remember you always Arabesque 💜
