Porter's Pretty Puppies
Meet the breeder
I'm Krista P., the breeder behind Porter's Pretty Puppies located in Joplin, MO. My pets are family and treated as such! I love them all! They are inside dogs but love to be outside too. I adore each of them! I socialize early and they have great temperaments. I take great care to ensure that each and every pup is thoroughly loved and spoiled before going to their furever home!
Q. & A. with Krista
Why did you start breeding?
Purely by accident. A friend was getting rid of her purebred Australian Shepherd because she couldn't keep her. About a year later I came across a male almost 2yrs old with papers and when I brought him home he literally fell in love with my female. They were inseparable from the start! I love the breed and want to share that love.What makes your program special?
Everyone thinks their children are special, I know mine are. I only have one female at this time. She is brilliant, athletic, and beautiful. Her puppies will be no less than her.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
