Q. & A. with Michael
Why did you start breeding?
My journey into breeding began with a deep love for the breed and grew into a commitment to preserving its health, temperament, structure, and character. Through research, mentorship, and experience, I carefully plan each litter to produce healthy, well-rounded companions. Breeding is my passion and a lifelong commitment to protecting the breed for future generations.What makes your program special?
My love for animals led me to responsible breeding, with a focus on health, temperament, and preserving the breed. My dogs are cherished family members, and every puppy is raised with love, attention, and socialization. I’m committed to producing wonderful companions and building lasting relationships with each puppy family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, fawn, blue fawn, tricolors, black and tan, fawn and white, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Getting a puppy from Michael
Michael has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Michael partners with them to find the best puppy match.
“Our goal is to place every puppy in a safe, responsible, and loving home. Buyers must be at least 18 years old and provide accurate contact information. We reserve the right to decline a sale when we believe a placement may not be in the best interest of the puppy. We may ask prospective buyers questions about their household, experience with dogs, other pets, lifestyle, and plans for caring for the puppy. A puppy is considered available until a deposit or full payment has been received and confirmed. Our puppies receive age-appropriate care before leaving for their new homes. Depending on the puppy's age and individual needs, this may include veterinary examinations, vaccinations, deworming, and other preventative care. Buyers will receive available health and veterinary records at or before pickup.”
