Q. & A. with Tamara
Why did you start breeding?
I became a guardian home, for this breed and that was my first intro to the ALD and had to have my own.
I began researching the history of the breed and the purpose for which they were intended.
And I loved what I discovered, I continued to become more and more enamored.
My passion, won out, and I began my journey as part of this unique ADL Breeding family.
What makes your program special?
Our Program is both small and meaningful—our Program has only 1-2 moms.
This sets us apart from other breeders.
Our approach is unique: our moms, live with us. We do not have guardian homes. This allows us to build deep, trusting relationships with our moms through daily interactions, rather than moving them back and forth.
Every litter receives our full attention, ensuring that both the moms and puppies receive the highest level of care.
If I were to describe myself in one word, it would be “intentional.” Every aspect of our program is crafted with purpose. We health test our parent dogs and adhere to the best breeding practices. We incorporate Puppy Culture and Empowered Breeders techniques.
Participating in this meaningful work is truly a privilege for us.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
