Q. & A. with Natalie
Why did you start breeding?
I have had a passion for animals my parents didn't share. The first thing I did in my adult life adopted a dog. I really think at that moment; I filled a void in my life. Later in my life, my aunt lived nearby and taught me everything to create a passion in my heart I would eventually achieve. I researched for countless hours, months, and years until life aligned, and I was ready.
What makes your program special?
We invest time and love into everything in our home as if it will be here forever.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
