Q. & A. with Suli
Why did you start breeding?
I'm a former security officer with 12+ years' experience. I later found myself training service dogs on the side and slowly transitioned into grooming dogs. I love everything dog-related, I feel security taught me how to step into any role given to me. I'm a fast and patient learner. I love to teach people proper techniques now. I especially enjoy rearing puppies into a work role.
What makes your program special?
As a breeder, I go beyond expectations, prioritizing intelligence and socialization. I believe dams should raise their puppies longer than the standard leave date. I support my puppy families every step of the way, offering grooming, boarding, emergency vet care, and free spay/neuter with our family Vet within the first year (puppy must be 1500 and up to qualify)
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red, orange, cream, black, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Pomeranian
About Cheddar
Ceti is a beautiful Sable her mother is a natural fox sable coat and her father is a full black coat, nice solid coats making her a perfect candidate for breeding with Merle’s. She is the most chill down to earth dog you’ll ever meet, her nickname is cheddar cheese cause she melts my heart. She is a perfect emotional support dog, I bought her from a breeder from Russia at 8weeks she flew to Mexico and then drove to the United States to join our pack. She later did all her exams and vet visits her first breeding was at age 1yr and 8 months. She has kept up with her annuals and fecal exams on schedule. We had a toxin scare back in May 2024 but she cleared her blood exams before breeding at the end of the year. This is her very last litter (#4) she will be fixed as soon as the vet clears her from whelping 😊

Kobi, dad
Pomeranian
About Kobi
Yaakov is a Tri Merle he yields brindle coats when bred correctly with a Sable. Brindles are very uncommon in the Pomeranian community and we are happy to have a stud to be able to offer beautiful exotic coats. My nickname for him is Kobi Myers he is a killer when it comes to everything 🤣 I love his spunky personality and he always has something to say back which I love as a breeder, he will let me know when he needs something and it’s so easy to read him. His puppies personalities tend to be the total opposite sometimes more of the mother’s personality than his. Yaakov is very chill he isn’t a sports man he is a total lab dog and loves to be pampered. He has the strongest frame from my pack and I can assure you those hips will be rock solid if it’s his babies.
