Q. & A. with Karisa

  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding pairs have solid temperaments and are very friendly. Our Dam is a therapy dog in training. Our Sire is a task trained service dog. Each puppy is temperament tested to see if they would make good service dog prospects. We offer health guarantees for every puppy. They also come with their first 4 rounds of dewormer, 2 rounds of vaccines by a licensed veterinarian, and microchipped!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include dark golden, golden, and light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
