Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
I have rescued dogs from shelters for 30 years. We finally decided to buy one. We thought she was reputable but all lies. Our dog has so many health issues hips, skin,digestive. I decided never again. I would search for my breeding papered girls to start a program people could rely on for quality in every aspect! We required spay/neuter by 18 months of age. This is our policy it is not negotiableWhat makes your program special?
We have earned Multiple CGC obedience titles (canine good citizen AND advanced, Community, Urban)trick dog titles. They are active certified TDI therapy dogs and have recently acquired certification for working as a Therapy dog team. Our boys are my personal AdA public access service dog. We worked with Helping paws for Veterans.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, black, brown, cafe au lait, cream, silver-beige, and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Lincoln and Cricket's litter

Litter update on 31 Aug 2025 •…Matinee is my only availble puppy! I held this baby back for a show prospect. He scored 3s and 4s on his Volhard testing. He is the sweetest guy. I will be very picky as to who gets him. I will require a conversation other than this. My application on my WordPress page must be filled out. All payments are thru gooddog. Matinee is an absolute love. A well-mannered little boy. He is very eager to please, loves our one on one attention. He walks perfectly on a lead, potty trained, and sleeps all night in a crate. He is very obedient, sits, shakes, leave-it, drops, fetches, and heels on or off leash. I have taken him to a few conformation shows. He has won 3 Best Puppy In shows while I've had him. He would make a great service dog prospect for any individual. He is fully vaccinated, including rabies, bordetella, and DHPp with Leptospirosis. He is in Simperica for fleas ticks and heartworm. Companion home only. Limited registration
