Q. & A. with Maria
Why did you start breeding?
We personally knew several breeders that stopped breeding fie different reasons. Over several years we've heard many many stories od these dogs dieing under the age of 5 yr old. So we decided to research breeding practices, the Akc standard and analyze the health of our dogs to to determine if they were eligible to breed. We begin handling our puppies very gently and briefly during the first days of life. Early neurological stimulation also known as ENS begins with holding them to close to our heart to ensure their first interactions with humans are safe and loving. We use light touch on the face, ears, back, belly, tail, and paws and increase stimulation as they grow.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
