Q. & A. with Deborah
What makes your program special?
I really believe in the importance of keeping dogs healthy and active. To prevent any potential serious issues with my puppies, I make sure the eyes, hearts, and elbows of the breeding dogs are in good health. Additionally, I get their genetics tested to look for any heritable diseases that could be passed on to the puppies.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
