Q. & A. with Samantha

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had been asked a few times if I would breed my female and passed. I have had a very light work schedule and decided to give it a go a few years later, the first litter was a new experience but so much fun watching them grow. With my medical background and love for animals I wanted to do my best and raise puppies that are loved and ready for a family transition.

  • What makes your program special?

    I have a great set up in my home, from a welping room to a screened in porch and gated backyard for them to develop adequately. I socialize and acclimate them to noise’s sand environments so they aren’t skid ish.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include smooth and longhaired coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include chocolate, chocolate and cream, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
