Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
My dad raised bird dogs when I was growing up. I enjoyed helping. Now as an adult and after researching different breeds that I was intrigued by; I decided to start breeding years ago and now enjoy my large breed dogs as well as my French Bulldogs.
What makes your program special?
I do not have many litters in a year, I don't breed just any dog unless and until I feel it is the right time, they meet or beat my expectations and after testing.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, fawn, tricolors, blue fawn, white and fawn, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
