Q. & A. with Janis
Why did you start breeding?
Dogs have always been a passion of mine. When I had married, we decided to get an English Setter from a well-known breeder who then was my mentor in the early years. I have obtained various titles on my dogs as well as them being therapy dogs.
What makes your program special?
I start puppy socialization techniques from day one. They know basic commands before they go home, as well as are crate trained and well on their way to being house trained. I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, and cuteness and love is guaranteed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
