Q. & A. with Stacey

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After seeing that my dogs had such wonderful dispositions, I wanted to replicate that, and offer puppies to the public that share those characteristics. I wanted to keep purebred puppies at a reasonable price

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are under foot all day, everyday. They are exposed to noises and situations which they will likely be exposed to in their forever home. This makes my puppies better able to adapt and fit into any family dynamic.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include brown black and white, brown and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
