Q. & A. with Ken and Jean
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I first got into breeding due to lack of breeders within certain breeds. We have a great deal of love for all animals and wanted to be able to pour that into providing families with healthy, temperament and loving dogs. We focused on loving families that would provide a continuous stable and loving environment for our puppies.What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is special for the following reasons. -We do health testing pre-breeding (for both Sire and Dam) -DNA testing -We provide ancestry line - Provide puppies with first health check-up, vaccinations, deworming - Pre-training program (crate trained, treat trained, etc.)What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
