Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
My family had done it. And i decided that our 2 girls had wonderful temperaments to share with other families. Since I already had a base knowledge for the process, and vet tech experience. It seemed like a natural progression.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include petite, miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, apricot, red, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
