Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
I have had dogs all my life and know how much joy that they can bring. I wanted to share the exact with others.
What makes your program special?
I raise these puppies in my home. They have a special room for sleeping, another special room for playtime and a large fenced in yard. I start the training process by taking them outside every 2 - 3 hours for about an hour.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
