Q. & A. with Rachelle
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because I was tired of others charging outrageous and erroneous prices that wouldn’t allow the middle class family to afford such an amazing breed of dogWhat makes your program special?
My dogs and pups are raised in the house not in kennels. They participate in family activities, are exposed to other animals. The pups stay with the adults to learn from them until they find their forever familyWhat are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, black and red, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
