Q. & A. with Melinda

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding dogs in the mid-1980s. I started with Beagles and it became a passion after I saw the joy on a new owner's face when they got the puppy they had always wanted. I began to make my customers part of my family and soon I had a huge family that encompassed people from all walks of life and countries. I knew this is what I was meant to do.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our breeding program is special because I work toward breeding the best possible dog using the historically correct dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
