Meet the breeder

I'm Patricia P., the breeder behind Patsy Heaven located in Wheaton, IL. We understand the responsibility of purposefully breeding in order to do better for the breed and the families that love them! Our breeding program started with one small litter that turned into a fulfilling, lifelong passion! We believe there’s no greater joy than providing families with companions that share unconditional love no matter what.

Q. & A. with Patricia

  • What makes your program special?

    🐾As a breeder, I must say that breeding purebred dogs is truly a captivating art form. The process of carefully selecting and pairing specific dogs to produce the most desirable traits is both a science and an art. It requires a deep understanding of genetics,conformation, temperament, and health. To me, breeding is not just about producing puppies; it's about embracing this art and guiding it to create something truly remarkable. Just like an artist with a canvas, I shape and mold the genetic potential of each pairing, hoping to produce a living, breathing masterpiece. Yet, breeding is more than just creating beautiful dogs. It is a responsibility to protect and maintain the integrity of the breed. Collaborating with nature as an "artist" in this process is a privilege like no other. Witnessing the magic of new life coming into the world, each puppy unique and full of promise, is truly humbling. I pour my heart and soul into each litter, giving them the best possible start in life. It is my duty to nurture these living masterpieces throughout their lives, ensuring they receive proper care, love, and attention. In the end, breeding purebred dogs is a blend of dedication, passion, and a deep love for the breed. It is an art that constantly evolves, fueled by the desire to improve and preserve these remarkable creatures. I am honored to be a part of this journey and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the world of dog breeding. 🐾 “Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art” - Leonardo da Vinci
