Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
My daughter gave me my first Bernese Mountain Dog and she is amazing. I think everyone should have a loving dog in their life. 🥰 I do all that I can to raise the best puppies possible - a clean environment, quality food, and lots of toys and socialization.What makes your program special?
I love each and every one of my babies. We just built a new home and the layout of our home was designed around the comfort of our dogs. My husband is a contractor and is completely supportive. He is constantly doing things to make our property of 11 acres a wonderful, safe, and happy environment for our dogs. Our puppies are raised in our home and loved from day one. We start potty training and expose them to other animals and children. We give support to our families that get our puppies and have a page where they can all connect and share stories and photos. We love what we do and want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.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?
