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 coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Carmen, mom
Poodle
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 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 health testing and titling prior to breeding, once she is cleared, we plan on her first litter to be in 2027.
Scribble, mom
Collie
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.
