Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
As we are now empty nesters, it has become my passion to raise exceptional puppies for families to cherish just as we did. All of our breeding dogs go through health testing to include PennHip or OFA hip evaluation, eyes, Canine Health Check panel and thyroid or cardiac. Most importantly, our dogs are raised in homes. Our foundation dog is Gracie, our AKC Phantom-Parti black and white standard.
What makes your program special?
Our parents are selected based on their temperaments, genetics, OFA/PennHip and Chic standards. We are dedicated to improving the breed.
Our puppies are loved and raised in our home. They go through several stages starting with the whelping/nursery area, puppy enrichment area and finally the preschool playground. We utilize portions of Puppy Culture to ensure a strong foundation.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include parti and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
