Q. & A. with Cynthia
Why did you start breeding?
My mother did
What makes your program special?
I am only breeding from my home. I believe in vet help all the way . My babies are 3 years old they really don’t need my help but I can’t resist. Royal canine feedings and lots of love. We put all newborns through early stimulation and take care to make sure they are socialized in a safe way.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include toy and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
