Q. & A. with Madison
Why did you start breeding?
Many things contributed to my passion for purebred preservation, but the most important was the dogs. I want to provide healthy and happy dogs first and foremost. additionally, there is something so special about being a part of keeping the art of conformation sports alive and creating dogs that will carry on legacies. I hope that my children will know the breeds I love as I know them today.What makes your program special?
I envision my program being like a giant network or family where we all support one another and help each other out. I want that sense of community when you get a puppy from our family, a never-ending string of support.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Collie puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?

Litter update on 26 July •…We are onto phase two of potty training! I have removed the litter box and made a 100% puppy proof potty yard with 24/7 access to the doggy door to encourage puppies to only potty outside. We have to revert their sleeping space back to just enough to lay down comfortably while we make this change so that it’s very clear where they are supposed to potty vs sleep! All toys get moved outside for now while they are in the beginning stages. This is why it is so important to introduce a litter box super early to encourage clean habits so that to them, pottying in a crate or close to their sleeping space is out of the question and they move as far as possible to potty. This makes the potty training process so much easier going forward!

About Carmen
Carmen is a goofy but intelligent girl. She is on the smaller side and is very loving and affectionate. She loves to meet new people and she is always friendly to everyone she meets. Carmen loves to fetch and has low-moderate toy drive. After her first heat and some maturity, she has shown incredible biddability and she has a wonderful natural off switch. Carmen is the snuggliest dog you'll meet, loves to be in your lap and around her people. Carmen absolutely loves her companion sport career and takes to each new place with confidence and joy. She has been tacking on titles and training since day one! Carmen is in the process of acquiring all of her titling prior to breeding. Once completed, we plan on her first litter to be in 2027.

About Scribble
Scribble is a intelligent and happy girl! Her bubbly personality is her trademark and she is so confident and friendly with all people and dogs. Scribble is fantastic companion and is great with children. Scribble has been versatile and has shown great promise in the conformation ring and accrued CH points during her time in the conformation ring. In April of 2024, Scribble broke her medial malleolus and has been in recovery since. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the fracture, she hasn't been able to successfully return to the show ring due to a gait abnormality. Luckily, she is sound enough for sports like Scentwork and sound enough to be bred. We look forward to Scribble's career in low impact sports and the whelping box. Scribble is fully health tested beyond CHIC Standards. CHIC number is 202012.
