Q. & A. with Clay
Why did you start breeding?
When we got Piper, we realized what an amazing dog she was. She was so easy to train, amazing with our small kids, and made friends everywhere she went. We started breeding because wanted to share that joy with others!
What makes your program special?
Piper and her puppies stay in the home with us. We focus on socializing them, do temperament testing prior to families choosing them, and we follow Puppy Culture guidelines. With three small children, the puppies will also be used to a small amount of chaos, as well!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
