Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
When we bought Darling, she had been kept by her breeder to use in their breeding program. Darling is a beautiful full tuxedo tri-color female. They decide to make her available due to a very busy family schedule for them at that time. We were so thrilled to find her and adopt her...but I was curious about breeding her. I bought her breeding rights, completed the testing and began the journey!
What makes your program special?
Having only one female and one litter means more attention for the puppies. They are in our home. We are small and enjoy those benefits.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are medium size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
