Q. & A. with Alina
Why did you start breeding?
After we got Lady , I sow Taz and felt inlove , so they become a couple ( love at first sight 🐶🐶💗💙 ) Then you keep wanting to add another one and here it came Griffin and then Missy . Peaches( liver nose) and Zara ( black and a bit if white ) just adding some more color with love to our family . Now our life is complete 🙏🐶 We are blessed and very happy ! 💗🐶
What makes your program special?
Health is my biggest care ! All my puppies are from. Diffrent states and not related.
Food is very important ! Proper nutrition helps your dog to stay healty and poop 💩 proper . So , I cook for them and give dry food and wet dog food . I add vitamins in their food to and coconut oil for helaty gut , skin and fur coat .
I do my own grooming 😃🐶😍 .It is challenging but practice makes performance. So every time gets better 😊
I have a fanced yard and they play a lot outside , inside . They all love each other .They don't have fear . And they are very smart and loving ❤️
