Q. & A. with Adeline
Why did you start breeding?
As long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to dogs and loved spending time training them. When I got my first purebred hunting dog, I realized I wanted to turn my passion into something bigger—breeding dogs and building a business doing what I truly love.
What makes your program special?
I believe my breeding program is truly special because of the time, care, and dedication I give to every dog and puppy. From the moment they are born, we focus on early stimulation and consistent interaction to prepare them to become confident, capable, and exceptional dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are liver and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
