Q. & A. with Darcy
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Chinooks inspired me to share this amazing breed with the world in a responsible way. I want to do my part as an ethical breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded puppies for others to cherish just as much as I do. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.What makes your program special?
My program is special because of my dogs. Chinooks are such a joy, and I find so much fulfillment in raising and preparing them for their loving, forever homes. I make sure my breeding dogs are fully healthy with superior pedigrees to ensure I am producing quality puppies. I enjoy establishing relationships with those who make my puppies part of their families and can provide limitless knowledge and advice. I'd be honored to connect with you!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, buff, black and tan, and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
