Q. & A. with Gaea
Why did you start breeding?
We hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. We look to ensure the future of the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje and improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits. It is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
Lenders Land is dedicated to only breeding dogs that we know are excellent representations of the standard and will make a positive contribution to their line and to the families who love them. Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
