Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
I have a Bachelors degree in Animal Science where I focused on companion animals and equine. I fell in love with the reproduction side and I strive for wanting to help bring dogs in to the world that fit the breed standard as I see so many who do not in our breed.What makes your program special?
I think my breeding program is special because of my background listed above and the environment we get to raise them in. We live on a large acreage with dogs, cats, chickens and horses which provides a wide variety of experiences for the puppies. I am also blessed with being able to raise the puppies with our young son, and he gets to learn about raising puppies as he grows up.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, red, chocolate and tan, chocolate and cream, black and tan, black and cream, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
