Q. & A. with Michele
Why did you start breeding?
We were introduced to Gordon Sousa in 2024 through a fellow breeder. He has been breeding Labradors in Arizona for over 47 years. He has been a wonderful mentor and friend. He has encouraged us to fulfill our dream. We want to breed the best and Gordon has been a great source of knowledge.What makes your program special?
We are a small breeder. Our bitches are family. They sleep in our home and travel with us on vacation. Their puppies are treasured and we are selective when choosing their future home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
