Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
Linda’s journey into breeding began with Coco, her beloved Bernese Mountain Dog. Coco’s gentle temperament, intelligence, and loving nature inspired Linda to thoughtfully plan a litter. After completing health testing and learning about responsible breeding, whelping, puppy development, and socialization, she created Coco’s Puppy Tales.What makes your program special?
Linda’s breeding program is built around health, temperament, and home-raised care. Puppies receive ENS, ESI, daily handling, enrichment, exposure to varied sounds, surfaces, toys, and people, plus early potty training. Linda carefully tracks each puppy’s growth and personality to help match them with the right lifelong family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Linda partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
“We carefully match each puppy with the family best suited to their temperament, energy level, and lifestyle. At 7 weeks old, a professional dog trainer evaluates each puppy’s personality and natural traits. These results, along with our daily observations, guide thoughtful placement decisions.”
