Q. & A. with Tabitha
Why did you start breeding?
After falling in love with the breed, we got our Dam health tested, and with 100% clear genetics, We knew right away we wanted to pass on her gene. Her beautiful coloration and super chill temperament makes a perfect companion.
What makes your program special?
I strive to produce well tempered, healthy, breed standard pups. My current Dam is 100% Genetically clear, and the stud we use is as well! This insures the best start and the best chance at a long healthy life for your new companion.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, black, red merle, blue merle, red, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

An absolutely amazing breeder, she takes good care of her puppies and genuinely wants to hear about their achievements and how they’re doing! I’ve kept in contact ever since I got my own puppy from her, sharing photos and achievements and prides with her! Very sweet woman, even sweeter babies!
