Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to put our passion for Pomeranians and Labrador Retrievers to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is our way to give back to the breed and the families who love them. We want nothing more than to see each of our dogs and puppies shine!
What makes your program special?
Our focus is on making the transition from our home to yours as easy as possible! Through creating an environment of serenity and care for our puppies, we know we are able to give each precious pup the very best chance to reach their potential, express their unique personality, and have a loving, well-rounded temperament.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Pomeranian puppies include cream, chocolate, tri-colored, chocolate sable, blue and tan, black and tan, chocolate merle, blue merle, and chocolate and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.

Heather was fantastic and very accommodating with delivering Snickers to us! She always responded in a timely manner to all of our questions. Snickers has already become very spoiled and she’s extremely loving! She gets along with our other Pom fabulous! Thanks to Heather, it’s was very easy getting her from Kansas to Alabama and Snickers new home! Highly recommend Heather and her kennel if you’re looking for a wonderful new addition to your family as well! Thank you Heather and all you did to help us get Snickers, we love her already!

I really appreciated Heather's help and kindness. She quickly addressed my questions and was quite knowledgeable about the breed. And then there were all the things she sent with my new puppy! A bag of food, lots of toys, a folder of all the puppy's records, and much more! The puppy arrived looking great! She was outgoing and happy, ready to play and explore.
It was a pleasure interacting with Heather to make buying a puppy a real joy. Thank you, Heather!
