Q. & A. with Peri
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding 14 years ago when looking for a puppy to train as our sons service dog. We couldn’t find a pup that was socialized the way we wanted…What makes your program special?
We utilize The rules of 7 and puppy culture when socializing our pups to be stable confident dogs throughout life. Puppies start off inside our home and move to various outside environments for last few weeks. We expose our pups to water, ramps, tunnels, various noises and many other stimuli to make transition to your home easier.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
