Q. & A. with Nicole

• Why did you start breeding?

  I grew up doing 4H and FFA with horses and cattle. I showed horses for many years and worked at several breeding farms and gained experience in all aspects of breeding cattle and horses from nutritional management to embryo transfer. I was a pre-vet (Equine Science and microbiology) major in college and volunteered at veterinary clinics and rescues for large and small animals. After college, I worked for a veterinarian and eventually started my own business doing laser therapy on horses and dogs. Our family also has a small ranch and breed Quarter Horses. After spending a lifetime in ranching and animal production with my Australian Shepherds beside me, it was a natural transition to utilize my veterinary and reproduction background to share the enrichment these dogs have brought to my life with other families.

• What makes your program special?

  My objective is to provide the healthiest and most emotionally adjusted puppies I can and to support their forever homes with education and support so they have a great relationship with that dog. I do this by health testing my dogs and selecting for disposition and health above all else. I also work with the puppies daily using Puppy Culture techniques and expose them to as many experiences as I can to make them accepting of new situations and prepare them for their new families.
