Q. & A. with Elaine
Why did you start breeding?
My parents were breeders and had dogs their whole lives.
This love of canines over flowed into my life as a grown-up.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program reflects the family life I give the dogs and puppies that are apart of our residing together.
They don't stay home...they go shopping to grocery stores, car rides walks.
They have 2.5 acres enclosed with a 6' fence for them to run as fast as they can to enjoy that freedom so they don't get any bored habits.
They get the best high quality grain free and chicken free kibbles at all times...they get fresh raw organ meats, fresh fruits & veggies.
They receive suncream for their skin if needed, lotions and a swimming pool in the summer.
We have a routine to clip nails and take care of any acne if the prego or younger ones have any reactions.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include toy, miniature, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have hairless coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
