Q. & A. with Brenda & Katherine
Why did you start breeding?
We started out with what we thought was a pet, but she was SO MUCH more! Once our daughter started showing, she really was hooked. We bred a litter at the request of our breeder and kept a puppy for our daughter. Now we are four generations in and just love the connections with our puppy families!What makes your program special?
We firmly believe in the results from the Puppy Culture program as well as maintaining a connection with our puppy homes. We are available to anyone for questions and can help find answers if we do not know the answer.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
