Q. & A. with Michaela
Why did you start breeding?
I had great mentors and who had great enthusiasm and goals for this breed. Somehow I caught the bug and started breeding with my two studs Baron and Chase. And the rest as they say is history.What makes your program special?
My puppies all born and raised in my home. I touch them everyday and learn their personalities. I believe they are all special and unique. I attend breeding seminars every year to learn about the latest breeding practices, vaccinations etc., I like to keep up to date on anything to do with breeding or dogs in general.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
