Q. & A. with Kyle
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to be a hobby breeder because we love Springers and want to let others know how awesome they are.
What makes your program special?
We raise our puppies in our home. They are born in our living room and are socialized from the time they're born until they leave our home. We only have one female and one male and we only raise one litter per year.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver white and tan and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
