Q. & A. with Cassandra
Why did you start breeding?
We love this breed! Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families.What makes your program special?
People want healthy puppies but also need a breeder that cares about them too. When there is a good relationship between the breeder and the new puppy family, I believe the puppies have the best lives because there is support through the life of that dog. We offer families a very personable trusting experience and offer lifetime breeder support. We care about the families we work with and we enjoy working as a team to bring the right puppy home to you. We specialize in working with families with children of all ages.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
