Q. & A. with Tina
Why did you start breeding?
After my retirement, my husband and I decided to make my dream of breeding come true. We then began looking for a male compatible with our female.What makes your program special?
Both parents are health tested and live in our home. They are our pets. Puppies are raised in our living area so they become accustomed to every day noises of a household. Each puppy is loved and handled daily until they go to their forever home.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 black and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
