Q. & A. with Alicia
Why did you start breeding?
So having Wally I wanted other people to feel this joy. But I wanted to be good at breeding. Also picking out healthy breeding stock and health testing. Truthfully it took a few years to accomplish this, and I'm so proud of my animals.What makes your program special?
We give our puppies the best foundation in life to help them be brave in this big world. We start at 3 days with mild tactile and scent exposure. When they are a few weeks old we move onto bigger items for exposer to new curious things (puppy curriculum)What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
