Q. & A. with Paula
Why did you start breeding?
Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. We know the health and status of every dog we have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. We love matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families.What makes your program special?
Our program is committed to only breeding dogs that we feel are excellent representations of their standard and will positively contribute to their breed and the families who love them. Our commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience; and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming our puppies. We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
