Q. & A. with Ara

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I DIDN’T GROW UP DREAMING OF BEING A DOG BREEDER…. No little girl circles “Shih Tzu breeder” in her career day worksheet. When I was younger, I wanted to be a K-9 officer. I always knew deep down there was something more for me… something that actually made me feel excited to wake up in the morning. Learn More : https://yourdivinepup.com/about-ara/

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
