Q. & A. with Polly
Why did you start breeding?
It has always been my desire to help people through the love of dogs. My first step in this goal was attending a dog training academy in 2000. I have utilized my training in many avenues. Currently I am focusing on breeding dogs that will be suitable for families, therapy and service. In the future, I plan to raise, and train dogs for people with specific needs.
What makes your program special?
My focus is on breeding dogs with great temperament, health, and character. I also work hard to pair people with dogs that will fit their lifestyle and needs.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brown, parchment, parti, phantom, red, cream, and gold. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
