Q. & A. with Raven
Why did you start breeding?
We are passionate about our dogs and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program. It is an honor to represent these breeds and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that we have found in raising these wonderful dogs. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
What makes your program special?
Old Soul is committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that we have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. We are very dedicated to what we do and what we aim to achieve as breeders. We work with passion, heart, and integrity, and we truly want what's best for the our dogs. Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to leave with their new families. Our puppies are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
