Q. & A. with Emerald
Why did you start breeding?
We brought home our Black Tri stud home in 2020 from a wonderful breeder & mentor. Upon researching and finding a dam, we reached out to our mentor to obtain our studs papers and breeding rights. 3 years later we had our first litter and was inlove with the entire process and the wonderful families our pups went to.What makes your program special?
We are a small program, focused on family and have very few litters so that our dam is healthy and the pups get the attention they deserve.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black tri and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
