Q. & A. with HELEN
Why did you start breeding?
I found that the Mini breed wasn't really available in the north east and wanted to bring this love I share with Sadie to others.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are pets first and live in the house with us. They will be socialized and accustomed to indoor living, around other dogs and children. Hopefully most of the potty training will be done for you. I'd like to promise that but you know puppies.....
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
