Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
My breeder/ friend got me interested. I spent many years whelping litters for free for Mercy Full Projects here in Tampa so I had the skill set . Once I retired I was looking for some supplemental income and Dogs and Horses are my lifelong passion so it just made sense and here we are with a little of 14 healthy puppies!What makes your program special?
Our intense focus on health testing and quality are the hallmarks of our breeding program.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan, black and silver, black and cream, black and beige, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
