Q. & A. with Doreen
Why did you start breeding?
I want to better the breed for Mastiffs to live longer. I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I want to give back to the breed by producing Mastiffs that would live longer and place them in loving homes.
What makes your program special?
My program is special because I provide personal care to each of my puppies. I work with my puppies during each mental and growth stage to ensure they are well-tempered and make great cuddly companions. I truly love what I do, and I can't wait to connect with you and your family!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
