Q. & A. with Fran
Why did you start breeding?
Yorkshire Terriers and Chihuahuas are incredible breeds, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in and out of the show ring. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come. Many of my dogs have become exceptional show prospects and champions, and all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends.
What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
