Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
I started as a guardian home for another breeder. I slowly transitioned into my own small breeding program from there.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are very much a part of our family. All dogs are socialized with other family pets and children. They are fed the best foods and given constant love and affection. That’s what this breed thrives on. To us they aren’t just dogs… they are family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blenheim, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
