Q. & A. with Maria
Why did you start breeding?
Our dogs made such great pets and were perfect companions. The love for them, combined with their intelligence and ease of training led us to breed them.
What makes your program special?
We want to ensure our puppies are purebred and free of any genetic diseases, so we have had all our grown dogs' DNA tested.
