Q. & A. with Marie
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding is something I have always wanted to do. I was finally afforded the opportunity and given the support I needed to set up my breeding program the way I wanted to. A way that would not only produce quality dogs, but would make me proud of the puppy you take home.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are family dogs, they live indoors, are are well socialized, and have exceptional temperaments. Our mothers are pampered and are given prenatal and postnatal vitamins to help give mama and puppy the best start. We are hands on whelpers and will be there every step of the way to help mama with anything she may need. We also are available for any and all questions throughout our journey.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and tan, and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
