Q. & A. with Robin
Why did you start breeding?
I bred Rat Terriers in California for many years. When I moved out to MN we wanted to get a dog together. When we bought Jess it was our intention to breed Jess once. When we experienced the love of the breed we wanted to share with others that would love a working dog as well as a family dog that is so loyal.
What makes your program special?
We are hand on with the pups from day one. We raise them in a clean environment and socialize them with all our other animals so their transition to a new home will be easier. We provide food, first shots, deworming and a puppy pack for the new owners.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
