Q. & A. with Debbie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have always loved dogs, and have owned several different breeds of dogs over the years. We discovered Porties approximately ten years ago, and fell in love with their personality, looks, and active lifestyle. Breeding them is an activity that involves our whole family, and we have learned to appreciate this breed even more. We love to do our best to offer healthy, happy, well-adjusted puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    Since we are not a large kennel, we are able to spend a lot of time with our puppies, really get to know them, and care for them as part of the family.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white, black, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
