Q. & A. with Dona
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs. I really value the connections I form with my buyers and love to continue to watch my puppies grow up through their eyes.What makes your program special?
In order to give my puppies the best start to their lives, I begin puppy socialization while they are with me. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
