Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
I started with a small white Toy Poodle, became interested in the dog shows, both the dogs and the people. I loved the excitement of shows, but, also breeding. While there's a steep learning curve to both showing and breeding, I've spent many rewarding years learning. Still learning!What makes your program special?
I take the selection of puppy homes very seriously. It is very important to me that each of my puppies is given the life they deserve. I like to get to know my puppy buyers and build a lifelong relationship with them.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are toy size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, blue, cream, silver, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
