Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
Dogs are one of the greatest additions to any family. They provide us with unmatched loyalty and companionship. Raising well bred puppies is a passion of mine because it allows families to experience that loyalty and love from a four legged companion.What makes your program special?
We offer well rounded puppies who thrive in their new homes. Our dogs are well socialized, friendly, energetic, and in stellar health. Each puppy comes with a health garuntee, vet paperwork, and AKC registration forms.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

About Amanda
Amanda is a playful, high energy Portie who loves people. Her dream day would be romping through the woods and splashing in creeks all day followed by cuddling on the couch with her people in the evening.
