Q. & A. with Fabi and Zak

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My passion for dogs and their well-being led me to responsible breeding. I wanted to contribute positively to the breed by raising puppies in a loving home environment, focusing on proper care, early socialization, and placing them in committed, lifelong homes.
  • What makes your program special?

    My program is small and intentional, allowing me to give each dog individual attention, love, and care. Puppies are raised in a calm home environment, handled daily, and thoughtfully matched with families who value commitment, responsibility, and treating their dog as a true family member.
  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include wirehaired, smooth, and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and cream, wild boar and cream, chocolate and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
