Q. & A. with Lori Ann

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding after a breeder friend of mine had started telling me about her breeding program it had interested me a lot because she was absolutely amazing at it and made it look so easy. So I started to mentor and just watch and learn as the female Boston Terrier I had purchased from her being raised. I knew that one day I would become a breeder because my love for Animals has always been

  • What makes your program special?

    I work with puppies from the moment that they're born. Before their eyes and ears even open I have already started doing ENS work with every single puppy. As the puppies age I work with different sounds and textures and smells to get them acclimated to their new homes. At week 7 we start to work on fireworks in Ny noises to get my pups ready for their new adventures into the world.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red, lilac, blue, seal and white, seal brindle and white, black brindle and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
