Q. & A. with Ashleigh

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have always loved pregnancy/delivery/babies, and that love definitely transfers over to puppies as well! I am passionate about making sure people have a responsibly bred, stable, healthy dog to be a family companion.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is a family effort, and we believe that it teaches our children valuable real-life skills! We have a passion for business management, and our commitment to our buyers is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience. We aim for excellence and healthy family pets, and each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. We look forward to connecting with you!

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Portuguese Water Dog puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
