Q. & A. with Debbie
Why did you start breeding?
Retirement gave me the time to help our female dogs and nurture puppies for the first 8 weeks in order to prepare them for the most positive journey possible.
What makes your program special?
The organization I am a part of provides service and therapy dogs for people with disabilities and school therapy programs. We breed to produce assistance dogs and do not offer puppies to the public at this time.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
