Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
The fulfillment of seeing new puppies born, watching them grow, and helping shape them and train them in preparation for their new forever homes is the most rewarding experience ever! It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.

My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and moyen sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
