Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start breeding due to our love for the breed. The dogs we have brought such warmth to our home. We want to bring confidence to the breed. We also want other families to experience what we have.
What makes your program special?
We have both dogs in agility which helps them to have self confidence. We also spend quality time with each puppy! We introduce them to various objects, noises and people. They know the tunnel in Agility and they know a small pool to play in. We want our puppies to be well accustomed to everyday life.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black tri. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
