Q. & A. with Marlece
Why did you start breeding?
I was looking for a was to be with my kids and be able to have the breed of dogs I fell in love with. I met with breeders and mentors that educated me and helped me build a program around a breed I fell in love with. I was able to be guided and directed on proper practices and tools that I could build on.
What makes your program special?
I build a relationship with every puppy I whelp and raise, that a pet or show puppy can remember and recognize the love from “mama” anywhere. If it’s a training session in an obedience class or a handling class, I feel confident taking the leash or lead on any puppy that came from my program and that puppy respecting the bond we built in my home.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
