Q. & A. with DaVaughnta
Why did you start breeding?
I first got into breeding Boxers after purchasing my second Boxer. I connected with a reputable breeder who had been breeding Boxers for over 30 years which intrigued me. Impartiality, I was interested in natural rearing and health testing aspects of the breed; ensuring that we bettering the breed and increasing their years. My dogs are fed a raw diet and administered minimum vaccines.
What makes your program special?
What makes my breeding program special as previously stated is that my dogs are my children. With that said, they are treated as such, ensuring that they (Sire/Dam)are health tested prior to any breeding. They are checked to ensure that no unhealthy defects are passed to down to litter. Also, puppies are reared in my home and are socialized and potty trained prior to heading to their new home.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
