I'm Conrad M., the breeder behind Mendoza Pups located in San Luis Obispo, CA. We love this breed and the experience of having litters! Our mission is to raise pups that are set to become the best companions. The foundation of our breeding program starts with raising healthy and well-loved dogs. We aim to pass the same happiness of owning a quality-bred dog to our buyers.
Q. & A. with Conrad
Why did you start breeding?
We got into breeding out of love for the breed and friends sharing with us how much they love our dogs and if we would ever breed and if so let them know.
What makes your program special?
I am sure this sounds like many others, but the doxies are family and we don't overbreed. We also follow our vet's advice closely as their health is most important. As I stated our dogs live inside and the pups are raised inside and people and kids.
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 types in your program?
Our puppies have longhaired coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
