Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
We have always loved dogs and I decided to start raising some after I quit my job to stay home with my kids. It is a great way to earn a bit of money and teach them how to care for animals and work.
What makes your program special?
I am a stay at home mom with 3 children so we surround the dogs and their puppies with around the clock care and attention. They are raised right in our living room and are used to the sights and sounds of a home by the time they leave here.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
