Q. & A. with Melissa
Why did you start breeding?
My parents breed poodles when I was a small girl. When I was 13 my aunt had a pair of Eskimo spits she couldn't keep. So she gave them to me since she knew my love for animals. I then started breeding them to help my parents during lean times on the farm and 2 older siblings in college. I have come along way from my first pair of dogs to now. We have several champions and pups worldwideWhat makes your program special?
Besides the health screening parents. All pups are sold with a 2 year warranty as long as the people follow the contract. I also feed a holistic food and supplements. All breeding stock is checked every 4-6 months by our vet that I have come out to the kennel. I have been doing this for a long time. I like to stay in contact with my families and get regular updates on the health and wellness of your pup.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Irish Setter puppies are mahogany. Golden Retriever puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
