Q. & A. with Amber
Why did you start breeding?
When I was young, I lived with my grandma and she raised chihuahuas. She would let me hold and play with the puppies and help take care of them. Those are some of the best memories I have growing up. I loved spending time with animals and my grandma. Now, my children are able to experience the joy of learning and raising puppies.
