Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up riding horses and going to rodeos. I also went to dog shows and did rally and agility with my family’s German Shepherds. I wanted a smaller breed and fell in love with Cavaliers.
What makes your program special?
We focus on spending our undivided attention with the puppies and work with them on training, socialization, etc from birth until they go to their new families. I am also a stay-at-home mom, so my puppies and dogs are not left alone.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
