I'm Alice M., the breeder behind Costal Cream Doxies located in Tustin, CA. Our pups are treated like family and provided with a clean healthy environment, quality foods, veterinarian care, and LOTS of love. Our puppies go home with a care package that includes items that smell like their parents and litter mates, a starter bag of food, and a couple toys.
Q. & A. with Alice
Why did you start breeding?
As a teenager I got to experience the process of breeding horses and watch two births. This got me interested in the reproductive process for humans and other animals. When my kids were young we got two Italian Mastiffs and breed them when they became adults. I used this to help explain reproduction in humans and most animals. Plus who doesn't love having cute puppies to play and cuddle with!
What makes your program special?
Since we are an in-home breeder we are able to provide a high level of care and attention to our pets and their puppies. The puppies are exposed to children and other dogs. They also receive a puppy wellness visit and two rounds of vaccinations prior to moving on to their forever home.
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 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 piebald, cream, blue and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
