Q. & A. with Erica

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I spent years researching and preparing for my first litter - fully health testing and proving my dogs. I LOVE raising puppies and am so thrilled to have a small part in keeping this amazing breed alive.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am with the puppies many hours a day and take pride in completing all avidog/puppy culture protocols. Owners receive a google drive link with multiple photos and videos a week, if not daily. Puppies are temperament tested by outside experts at 7 weeks which helps assist with appropriate placements. My dogs and puppies are my family and I will always be there to help for the life of your dog

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

    Our puppies include red sable, red brindle, silver sable, silver, silver brindle, gold sable, gold brindle, gold, fawn sable, fawn brindle, fawn, black and tan brindle, black brindle, black and tan, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
