Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
I did not seek this journey of breeding out by myself it sought me out and came with a small team of veteran breeders to guide me along the way. One thing lead to another and the rest was history.
What makes your program special?
We specialize in bringing back the historic colors of the breed. The historic colors include: solid chocolate, solid black, black and white, chocolate and white, chocolate and tan, and chocolate tri color. We also health test all of our dogs before we ever decide we will breed them to ensure optimal health of the puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and white, tri-color, black and tan, and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
