Q. & A. with Kristine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have a fantastic service dog that we needed to train well to do her job. In the process, we learned so much, won many titles, and decided to give breeding a go. Providing high-quality, service-centered dogs to people is our passion. People NEED quality, long-living, healthy, smart, obedient, rock-solid dogs that are raised correctly from the start.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our goal is to produce very correct, healthy, loving dogs for our clients. We strive to prepare all our pups to excel in the show ring and in their forever homes as service dogs and loving companions. We are passionate about raising quality dogs for service and the show ring. Our love for our dogs and puppies shines through in every aspect of our breeding program.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    American Eskimo Dog puppies include toy, mini, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    American Eskimo Dog puppies are white. Siberian Husky puppies include red and white and gray and white. Newfoundland puppies include white and black, black, and brown. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
