Q. & A. with Pamela
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Flat-Coated Retriever. I strive to not only continue my own prized line and produce beautiful puppies but to promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the breed will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes your program special?
The devotion, love, and passion that I put into my breeding program are what make it special. All of my dogs are bred, raised, and loved to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike. I love spoiling and pampering my dogs, and hope that my puppies' new homes will love and cherish them just as much as I do!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
