Q. & A. with Dr. Chris
Why did you start breeding?
Our love of animals and especially dogs lead us into breeding 30 years ago. Our greatest joy is seeing how well our puppies transition to their new homes and we love getting the chance to see them after they leave our home. This is one of our greatest joys as we love seeing them grow up.
What makes your program special?
We keep all of our dams and sires in our home and all of our puppies are Puppy Culture raised in our home. We are incredibly type-A when it comes to puppy training and making sure they are well started with socialization, positive fear recovery response, crate training, housebreaking and intelligence and friendliness.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black and white, tri-color, and phantom. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
