Q. & A. with Vanessa
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding 7 years ago while I was working at my grooming business. I learned a lot about it from the vet that I worked for, and knew that it was always something that I wanted to do. Improving the breed and doing different sports/activities with them is an important pastime for me.What makes your program special?
I make sure that my dogs are health tested and prepared to produce healthy puppies. I make sure that every puppy is checked by our vet and healthy before going to their new homes. I enjoy staying in touch with all of my families as their puppies grow and make sure that they are thriving in their new homes. I feel confident that I am producing healthy and happy puppies for my families.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, apricot, black, brown, silver, parti, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
