Meet the breeder
I'm Madison N., the breeder behind Ivy's Garden located in Katy, TX. Our dogs are bred for personality/temperament, health, and color. Our dam is a first-time mama and the best dog I have ever owned. We will personally be keeping one of her pups ourselves from her final litter. All pups will have vet checks, deworming, vaccinations, and beginner training.
Q. & A. with Madison
Why did you start breeding?
When we got to know Ivy after purchasing her, we immediately knew we wanted to breed her. She is perfect in our eyes, and we will be keeping one of her pups ourselves for her final litter. We did research and spoke with Ivy's breeder as our mentor, and decided now is the right time.What makes your program special?
Our litters will be surrounded by other dogs, children, and even farm animals. They will be extremely socialized and have beginner training as well as a full vet check and both parent's blood work.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, black and white, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
