Q. & A. with Denise

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We believe a dog should retain its traits and abilities needed to effectively perform the functions for which it was originally bred. So, we are dedicated to providing you with well-rounded and sound puppies. We absolutely love the process and enjoy placing puppies with loving, forever families.
  • What makes your program special?

    Morgan Mills focuses on puppy development, incorporating Puppy Culture and Early Neurological Stimulation protocols. A confidence course is used as part of their play, with teeters, tunnels, and balance toys to improve their confidence and ability to respond to unexpected movement, changes in the environment, and startle recovery. We love what we do and look forward to connecting with you!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
