Q. & A. with Bradlee
Why did you start breeding?
I've always wanted to be a dog breeder. My mom bred Mastiffs when I was young and I've always been a passionate nerd about dogs (I mean, what 5 year old reads dog encyclopedias?). I love the experience of owning dogs and raising puppies for their families.What makes your program special?
We are a very small breeder, with only one litter a year. Our puppies are raised in our home and receive lots of extra love and socialization! Unlike most Aussie breeders, we keep the long, natural tails on all our puppies.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
