Q. & A. with Savannah
Why did you start breeding?
After birthing dogs at the animal hospital where I worked, I gained the confidence to want to breed at home. I have a 2-year-old dachshund and knew this was the breed for me! Once I realized this, I purchased my first AKC male and female to breed!
What makes your program special?
I am a Pre-Vet graduate and have had multiple years of learning the ins and outs of animal breeding as well as having 3 years of experience of working in a veterinary clinic. This makes my program special because the well-being of animals is one of my top priorities for my breeding programs.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
