Q. & A. with Azalea
Why did you start breeding?
After buying our first family dog I thought it would be so valuable to provide other families with low-allergen dogs (I'm allergic) that could help ease their anxiety, and also provide them with the companionship, love and joy that our girl gives us.
What makes your program special?
I understand firsthand the power of a dog and the joy and peace it can bring. We believe that by pairing well-tempered and fully health tested parents together, and by raising their puppies on an advanced puppy curriculum, we can produce dogs that can change lives and fill them with peace and joy.
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 colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
