Q. & A. with Paige
Why did you start breeding?
We were given a Coton as a gift to our large family. We fell in love and had always wanted to breed. We had no idea how much work breeding is , if done correctly. However, our whole family is involved in this process now.
What makes your program special?
These dogs are our pets. They are not kennel raised or fostered out. We are with them always as well as their puppies. We work very hard to have a good program. We keep a very clean home and dog area. As the puppies grow each stage is very thought out and started at a certain time. They grown into well socialized little puppies.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and white, tri-color, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
