Q. & A. with Renee
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first rat terrier Tubby when I was 11 months for Christmas. He was my best friend, I have had one ever since. When it got difficult to find rat terriers, my husband and I decided to start breeding them in 1986.What makes your program special?
I believe in going above and beyond in socializing my puppies, puppies are born and raised in my home. I also encourage and help my puppy owners get involved in the breed.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
