Q. & A. with Albany
Why did you start breeding?
My mom bred and raised pugs for about 40 years and I fell in love with the breed at a young age. At the age of 11 I fell in love with a different breed the Labrador Retriever. I got my first Labrador at 19 and have been hooked ever since and believe in betterment and improvement of the breeds.
What makes your program special?
We raise all of our puppies in our home and not a kennel environment. We hold and love them from the day they are born. They are kissed and loved and cherished. We deworm regularly vaccinate and do a vet exam on our puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
