Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in a home with lots of animals and my mom was a breeder. I never thought I would be brave enough to breed myself. We started out our journey as a guardian home for a doodle. It was such a great experience. Aaron was the final encouraging factor in us finally breeding for ourselves. After lots of research and training we are ready.What makes your program special?
We are a small breeder focussed on one litter at a time. Taking extreme care in health and temperament.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include gray and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
