Q. & A. with Samantha
Why did you start breeding?
I got my 1st purebred dog (Labrador Ret) when my son was 1 year old. Watching our dog with my son and how gentle and easy going she was I just knew I would want another one. Tully's temperament and demeanor was everything to me and we loved her so much I decided to breed her and start raising my own.What makes your program special?
All of my puppies are raised in my home, they are well socialized and exposed to all types of animals and played with daily by my children. We assure all of the health testing is done on the parents and they have their OFA certifications.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
