Q. & A. with Emma
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding with the ownership of my first well-bred purebred, a kooikerhondje named Ducky, whom I co-own with my friend and mentor in the breed.What makes your program special?
My experience working with a wide variety of dogs in multiple sports makes me uniquely qualified to evaluate puppies for performance potential. I also work with an incredible network of experienced breeders and owners that assist in evaluating litters and providing top quality breeding dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
