Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
I worked at a dog breeding/boarding kennel for 3 years. I have about 6 years of teaching left before I retire and I want get my hobby/retirement passion started now.What makes your program special?
I am newer to the breeding world; however, I have 3 great mentors that I have learned and sought assistance from. I have taken Jeanette Forrey's mentorship and how to evaluate puppies classes. I health test my dogs through Embark and test eyes, elbows, cardiac, hips and patella. All of my dogs have their CGC certification and novice trick dog titles. One of my labs is a certified therapy dog.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
