Q. & A. with Alexis
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my first ever pet dog as an adult from a great breeder and really formed a bond with her. I had never had a show dog before but the show world has always fascinated me! She taught me everything I know about breeding and showing. I learned what good ethics are when it comes to breeding and after years of learning from her I obtained a show prospect and we have been showing ever since!
What makes your program special?
We really go out of our way to make sure we are breeding the most sound puppies for future generations to come. We FULLY health test all breeding dogs no exceptions. We use Avidog protocols to reassure our puppies will be sound before going to their new homes. We stand behind every single dog we produce and offer life long support for owners whether it be when the puppy is young or an adult
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
