Q. & A. with Colleen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    A strong love for dogs and helping others. I saw the potential in an intelligent breed and the wonders my own dogs brought out in my autistic clients.

    We work with our dogs to be both excellent companions, and working service dogs. We love and respect our community and offer various discounts to veterans, first responders, nurses, teachers, individuals with autism, and direct support professionals.

    They live in my home.

    Colleen was great to work with. She took the time to talk with me. You could tell that she really cared about the home to where the puppies would be going to & if the pup would be the right fit for you. I was amazed on how she was able to tell what type of personalities her pups had. When it came time for me to pick up my little Bella, she arranged a safe, easily accessible meeting place.

    I appreciate Colleen and how communicative and thorough she is. I loved getting picture updates of my puppy while I waited to take him home!

    Colleen was super nice and informative. She was very fast to respond to any questions I had. My vet said Duchess was very healthy and well taken care of. Duchess sleeps all night in her kennel and is a very fast learner!

    Collen was amazing!! Very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. She made pick up so easy by meeting us halfway. She was so gracious to keep Chloe a bit longer until we could get her. Chloe our new wiggle butt baby is adorable and well adjusted. Definately a good temperment.

    I surprised my fiancé with a puppy and it went perfectly! They were very helpful and flexible with pickup, and they told us everything that we needed to know. Very happy with the newest member of our family! He's adorable and exactly what we were looking for :)
