Q. & A. with Paris
Why did you start breeding?
We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. We first thought about breeding after talking to the breeder of our first puppy.
What makes your program special?
All of our dogs are part of our family and live inside our home full time with free access via a doggy door to a large fenced-in yard. Our puppies are raised around the normal activities and sounds of daily life. We believe this helps them transition into more well-balanced adults. We introduce our puppies to (safe) other adult dogs, children, and cats. We are confident that each one will become a treasured family member!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
