Q. & A. with Linda

  • What makes your program special?

    As part of our puppy-raising program, we incorporate a modified Puppy Culture approach, introducing age-appropriate enrichment, socialization, confidence-building exercises, and early neurological stimulation to give our puppies the best possible start in life. Our goal is to ensure that every puppy family has the best possible experience welcoming their new family member home.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    They live in my home.
