Q. & A. with Marcy
Why did you start breeding?
I want to do my part to better the Retriever breed. My breeding program focuses on maintaining breed standards while striving to produce puppies of superior health, temperament, and to bring our natural abilities.What makes your program special?
I do not produce a litter unless each of my parent dogs is fully healthy and excellent representations of the standard. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my pups. I love what I do and truly want nothing more than to see each and every one of my puppies shine!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
