Q. & A. with Debby

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Fourteen years ago, when I got my first Picard, I wanted a pet. The breeder had a show home fall through and asked me to take that dog. The breeder became a friend and mentor. I fell in love with this breed and wanted to help preserve the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    I only breed once in awhile. If I feel I can improve on the breed, then I will do a breeding. We raise our pups using several different methods to hopefully help shape the puppies into confident, well-balanced dogs. All of our pups leave with being crate trained, enjoying car rides, and almost house trained if not completely. All pups go out on a contract for their safety and well being.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white, cream, chocolate, red sable, and silver sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
