Q. & A. with Cara
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had a love for dogs. I decided to begin breeding when I was just 15 years old and in high school. Since I began breeding at a young age, I realized that it was my passion and what I wanted to do throughout my life. My family was always there to help me. Two years ago, we decided we would all do this together. We love animals, and we love even more to see them go to amazing families!What makes your program special?
All of our breeding dogs are family pets. They live in our home and are truly a part of the family. We seriously wouldn’t have it any other way. We are dedicated to loving our dogs first and building our breeding business second. We believe that the only way we can provide loving puppies is by incorporating them into our family throughout the whole process! We also have beautiful dogs!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
