Q. & A. with Michelle

  • Why did you start breeding?

    That bond with Shoo-Shoo, and later on pups, made me want to understand them fully so that I could channel that knowledge into my ultimate mission: helping other families find that exact same magical, once-in-a-lifetime connection that I was lucky enough to have with them.

  • What makes your program special?

    Our puppies are raised right in our home and are introduced to new sights, sounds, and people from the very beginning. Families receive regular photo updates so they can watch the development, training, and socialization in real time. This careful step-by-step socialization helps each little one grow into a calm, confident, and loving dog that is ready to join your family.

  • 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, phantom, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
