Q. & A. with Jewel
Why did you start breeding?
In 1991, we got our first Bichon, Shana, from a breeder as a family pet. We were a busy household with someone usually home, coming or going so we decided that Shana needed her own kind of company. A year later we brought home Magic, a playmate for Shana. After this milestone, and as each of our children grew up and moved on, our Bichon family continued to grow. Phat Baby and Tessie came to us as pets and all the others were our pets, as well as our champions.What makes your program special?
We have a large home where our dogs have free run of the ground floor that opens to outside and the first floor. They can go in and out as they choose and there is a large area for them to play both inside and outside.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
