Q. & A. with Brooke
What makes your program special?
We believe in quality vs quantity. We only have one to two litters a year that way we can put 100% into our litters. Each puppy is treated like our own personal pet/partner til they find thier forever families. I will always take back one of our pups if for some reason the current owner is no longer able. We never want one of our pups to be homeless or end up in a shelter.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.
