Q. & A. with Regina
Why did you start breeding?
My grandmother was a famous Miniature Schnauzers breeder. She taught me the love of animals and the passion to breed health happy puppies. When I realized I couldn't have more than one child. I decided to bring babies in my life by following my grandmother's philosophy. So I decided to give love to the world through my puppies.
What makes your program special?
My belief is if you bring a life in this world you need to do something for the lives already here. So the profits to my breeding goes to my rescue.
I always say that I am different from most breeders. I am the life of the furbaby. I am here night or day for questions or concerns. These are not dogs to me, they are my grandpups and my love for their parents always extends to the puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
