Q. & A. with Karen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After having them as pets we started getting into AKC sports and eventually into conformation, which led to breeding.
  • What makes your program special?

    We stay educated in the best possible methods for rearing puppies and in the health of our breeding dogs. We are members of Avidog, BetterBred and AKC Breeder of Merit. Our puppies are raised with the goal of being as prepared as possible for life in their future home, starting from day one. It’s an incredible amount of work but worth it.
  • 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 black, blue, cream, silver, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
