Q. & A. with V
Why did you start breeding?
10 years.
What makes your program special?
I believe what makes us special is that our puppies are literally raised in out living room with their parents and that we are a small breeder who mainly just breed to local families.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, chocolate, black, silver brindle, silver sable, red sable, red brindle, gold sable, gold brindle, fawn sable, fawn, chocolate sable, black brindle, black and tan, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

V was wonderful and got back to me quickly with any questions I had. She went above and beyond meeting me almost half way to drop off as we are approx 7 hours apart. Our puppy Benny was completely trained on pee pads and is a happy and friendly puppy.

It went great, she communicated with me on a regular while in the process of getting my little girl. Miss Stella had been great so far, she came to me already knowing the basics and she's been thriving every day. I'm very happy with the decision I made.

We had a positive experience and all the questions I had were answered. She really cares about her puppies and enjoys hearing how they are doing. We have a beautiful little puppy who has been pad trained since day one. He has the sweetest disposition and is very playful and happy!

V. was so accommodating and answered my multiple questions quickly! You can tell she really cares for her puppies! We received "Savi" 2 weeks ago and I am amazed at how quickly she adapted to us and our home. She is so smart. She is 12 weeks today and already she has learned to "sit" when I am giving her a treat. The transition from V. to us was seamless and she really helped us out immensely! Our house is full of love now. My husband and I haven't laughed this much in a day as we have with "Savi". Thank you V.!!!
