Q. & A. with Joanna
Why did you start breeding?
We started breeding 3 years ago and fell in love with the whole process. The best part is seeing the faces of our puppy buyers when they reunite with their pups. We truly love sharing the joy these dogs bring with others.
What makes your program special?
Being the hobby breeders we are, we’ve had the opportunity to get to know many folks who are looking to extend their families. It so rewarding to make the connection and many have kept that connection! Our dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. We prepare all of our pups to excel in life.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
