Q. & A. with Catherine

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I was raised on a farm, we milked cows, raised horses, and hogs. I took a job with a kennel when I was 18 and worked there many years learning practical skills of canine husbandry, breeding, whelping & health, our kennel participated in vaccine trials with Fort Dodge and I learned a lot about communicable disease. As I worked. I slowly started my own kennel and put into practice all that I had learned.

  • What makes your program special?

    We truly do take health and temperament as 1st priorities! Our dogs are created to be lifelong family members, showing and breeding are just a bonus. Most of our puppies are placed in pet homes with people who want a true to type, healthy example of the breed that they can be proud to own, a dog that is exactly what it is supposed to be in all aspects including personality, traits & tractability.

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

    Our Russian Tsvetnaya Bolonka puppies include silver, gray, cream, red, brown, black, fawn, and wolfgray. French Bulldog puppies include cream, fawn, white, and white and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    Catherine was responsive and detailed. The purchase was smooth, and my puppy arrived timely with everything required for her first few weeks with me including training. She’s an amazing puppy and is growing so quickly.

    Catherine was so helpful throughout this whole process. I loss my frenchie of 13 years the day after Christmas when I saw Pebbles from her litter I absolutely feel in love! When I messages Catherine she responded quickly and was very helpful with all the information. She even took the time to explain the transportation option that would work best to get her to me in RI. I’m beyond impressed with her breeding as well as her ability to communicate. Pebbles got here on Thursday (1/29) and she is the absolute cutest, sweetest funniest little frenchie ever! I couldn’t be happier to have her part of my family. ❤️ Thank you Catherine and also to the incredible people that brought this little bundle of joy to me. 🥰

    Catherine has a very professional breeding operation. In the beginning I had a lot of questions regarding the breed and our puppy in particular. She answered all of my questions…even the tough ones without sugar coating it. She also provided full genetic information of the puppies parents and every bit of paperwork that is required including all vaccinations and akc documents. I asked to see her facility and she obliged after doing some due diligence on me for safety reasons. We had a nice meeting where she showed me all the puppies, the parents and the full facility. The breeding facility was incredibly clean. All puppies/dogs had plenty of room and pens that included access to the outside. Inside she had professional equipment to weigh and care for the dogs in the manor a good breeder should. She sent me off with a backpack of goodies and the knowledge that we were purchasing from a conscientious, thoughtful breeder. Also the payment process was very straightforward. We traveled 8hrs to get this little fellow and we are glad we did. So far so good! He is a healthy, sweet male pup and has acclimated very well with out family and female adult Boston Terrier. I would highly suggest Catherine as a breeder.

    I cannot say enough about this precious baby I bought from Catherine. She has such a gentle disposition and is so smart. She has not had one potty accident in the house. She plays fetch and brings the ball right back to me after only two training sessions. She goes to work with me everyday. She doesn’t bark at anyone, loves pets, and walks right beside me. When I place her in her kennel, she lays down until it’s time for lunch. Catherine answered all my questions during our buying experience with timely responses.

    Catherine is a Great Breyer to get your French bulldog from. She answered every question i had without hesitation and responded quickly.. My puppy came with a wonderful gift bag she put together.His AKC paperwork and current shot records were also included. Taz was already microchipped by her.. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a French Bulldog. She is based out of Missouri, but my puppy was delivered right to my door step!! I am happy to report that Taz is now 4 months old and-doing very well!!
