Q. & A. with Elizabeth
Why did you start breeding?
Being a veteran, wife of a veteran, and mother of a veteran and first responder, I see the need for service animals everyday. I began my breeding journey so that I can donate a dog from each litter to a veteran, first responder, or their family for service work. In the process, I raise intelligent, well socialized, healthy puppies for therapy, comfort, and pet homes as well.What makes your program special?
My dogs are my pets first; service, emotional support, and therapy dogs second; and breeders last. All puppies are raised in my home and handled and loved on everyday.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
