Q. & A. with Alex
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding started with extensive research, conversations with breeders, and attending shows to ensure quality selection. Growing up with a Dachshund and Jack Russell Terrier, I knew these were the breeds I wanted to focus on.What makes your program special?
This breeding program is unique, focusing on creating a specific look in breed type and color. I'm developing a line of smooth brown/white Russell Terriers (Jack Russell Terriers) and smooth English Cream Miniature Dachshunds.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
