Q. & A. with Shirley
Why did you start breeding?
After a few years with my Maltese, I knew that I wanted to share this lovely breed with others and improve my line at the same time.What makes your program special?
Our ability to interact with the puppies 24/7 guarantees a well-developed and socialized pet. Having a better grasp on their personalities enables us to best match the puppies to their new owners. Since we know each puppy so well, their temperaments and personalities, we are best suited to make these decisions.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
