Q. & A. with Debra
Why did you start breeding?
Our daughter fell in love with a Maltese in the local pet store. The puppy was over $4000. We could not afford that price but through a web site like this we were able to get our first Maltese. We named her Holly. Many of our friends was asking us to breed her because they wanted a puppy so we located a Maltese stud and we had our first liter of 2 females about 6 years ago. We kept 1 to stay with us and we continued to breed. We now have 3 females and 1 male.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are a part of our family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
