Q. & A. with Pat
Why did you start breeding?
In 1994, with 3 children ages 9 to 14 and an aging Cockapoo,]we decided it was time to start looking for another dog. We began our search and found our perfect pup. We fell in love and wanted to responsibly share the joy our pup brought us with others.What makes your program special?
We are a very hands-on breeding program. Our whole family is involved and dedicated to the well-being of our dogs and pups. We would love to connect you with your perfect puppy. Nothing brings us more joy than seeing our puppies shine.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
