Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Nicole

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have had a love for animals for as long as I could remember. When I was a little girl I dreamed of being a veterinarian. Life had other plans and I spent my time raising and caring for our large family with 6 children. I feel blessed to have been able to raise my children around animals because as a child I had always wanted the companionship of a dog. Having that first litter of puppies, I knew I wanted to learn everything I could to raise the best possible puppies. I love this breed and will strive to better it with each litter produced. I love being able to share my puppies with other families. It’s fulfilling to know that one of my legacies will fill a space in someone’s heart and provide them with lifelong companionship.
  • What makes your program special?

    I set my standards high and continue to educate myself on the best practices to raise the best possible puppy. I strive to give your new family member the best possible start in life so that you can enjoy a happy, healthy dog for many years to come.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
