Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
The traits of this little dog stole my heart, as time went on my passion for the breed was to continue with the history of the breed, while keeping a well structured, good temperament dog. It has become important to me to educate those looking to breed, or buy an all around nice dog that they can trust me as a breeder and mentor.What makes your program special?
I like to think that first and foremost that health is of the most important, the genetic testing done, the carefully planned litters with research on pedigree's, 5 to 6 generations of consistency. The 20 years of knowledge learn over the years. We enjoy the constant activity and entertainment they provide, appreciate each individual personality, and take pride in their many accomplishments.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
