Q. & A. with Liya
What makes your program special?
I take time off work for my puppies. They are AKC, vet examined, vaccinated, & dewormed. Pedigrees filled with champion bloodlines & OFA health tests. Parents also cleared from 30 genetic health conditions. Our puppies start potty training at 2 weeks, are given pre/probiotics & coconut oil daily. They also go through early neurological (ENS), scent (ESI), and sound & texture stimulation (SATS).
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
