Q. & A. with Heidi

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have been breeding since 2003 for the love of the breed and the joy they bring to the families that adopt them.

  • What makes your program special?

    Longevity has made my breeding program more prolific. We whelp the puppies in our bedroom where they stay for their first weeks of life. They are completely home raised, crate trained, outdoor potty training is started. We are very selective with matching our babies with the perfect home. We are proud of the amount of returning families who adopt subsequent puppies for their family.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include ruby and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    After looking at many different breeders in my general locale, I completed a detailed questionnaire and had a follow-up phone call with Heidi. We had a lengthy conversation where she asked me questions and answered mine. I felt confident in her as a breeder. When we arrived to pick up my 9-week-old puppy Arthur, he walked right over to me, sat up on my knees, and looked up at me. It was an amazing and magical moment! We had a good visit, met the parents, and I appreciated the way Heidi raises her pups--in her home. His 1.5-hour drive home was calm--he slept most of the way in his carrier. I immediately noticed during the first week that he was well on his way to being potty trained and well-socialized. He is used to household noises, our grown labrador, and the family, including kids. Arthur is sweet, calm, and curious. Very smart and such a good boy. We're not even two weeks in, and he responds really well to his name, sit, stay, and break. He's a happy pup. But I am also working on raising a calm and confident canine companion. He is perfect, and we all love and adore him.
