Q. & A. with Becca
Why did you start breeding?
Animal Husbandry has always been a passion of mine. I am fascinated by the science of Genetics & creating the best quality version of specific breed, while preserving the standard.What makes your program special?
My program may be small, but I have grown in my knowledge and ability to be clear with my direction and precise with my choices. I will always take back a dog that started here to make sure that it has a loving home forever. I own my own home and have made accommodations to the indoors and outdoors, so that the socialization and Experiences for the animals are enjoyable and vast.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include chocolate, cream and white, chocolate and tan, black and tan, liver, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Finley
Finley is extremely sweet and affectionate. He loves to cuddle and leaves no lap unattended. He is on the small side, around 5-6 pounds, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good eater! Finley is good with cats and other dogs, very friendly and gentle with kids. A joy to have around!

Miss Maggie is a three year-old chocolate AKC Yorkshire terrier. She is approximately 7 pounds and this is her second litter. She is an amazing MAMA and we are looking forward to see her new bundles of joy at the end of February. Maggie is a very proper young lady. She is a little choosy with who she likes to be with, but once she has decided you are her person, she will follow you around like a magnet.
