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.
