Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Rita
Why did you start breeding?
I love dogs!What makes your program special?
I think what makes us special is the love and time we invest in our puppies. They are born in our whelping room in our house and after they open their eyes they are moved to the puppy area. We play with them daily and the grandkids make sure they love kids!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

+8Ace has been a bundle of sunshine to our family, always keeping us on our toes; each day is never boring, and he is absolutely adorable even when causing trouble. He is as energetic an Aussie as they come, and we love having him.

Rita was amazing to work with. I can really tell she loves her dogs which was really important to me. She always answered my questions within the hour. She was lots of help through the whole process. My beautiful pup arrived through the flight nanny she helped me with. My puppy is healthy, smart and so sweet. He settled in very well right off the bat so that tells me Rita spends a lot of quality time socializing her babies. I would give her a 10 gold star rating. Such a nice person to work with.

Great experience and Rita gave me frequent updates. I appreciate the care that is put into her dogs and facilities were immaculate. We love our boy and he is fitting right in with our other girl. He is such a great addition to our family. I felt comfortable the entire process.

+5Rita very clearly loved these puppies. Hunter is sweet and cuddly and is doing great with come, drop it, and is getting more comfortable in his kennel. He handles being around other animals very well. Doesn’t even seem to notice the Neighbor’s dogs (yet) and we are perfectly content with that. Our kiddos are obsessed. Rita set our family up for success and made sure the puppy and my husband had supplies for the long ride home. We definitely recommend working with Rita.

+5Rita was AMAZING from start to finish! She made the process of adopting our Blue easy. She remained in consistent communication with us. She sent photos and kept us updated every step of the way. She provided advice and was VERY patient with us. We flew him from Texas to Las Vegas with a Flight Nanny. Blue is a member of our family and loves playing with his sister, Freya. He is very healthy, spunky, smart, and absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Rita!!!

Harper is doing great. She loves the outdoors. She’s been enjoying playing in the snow/ice.. she’s eating well and the last two nights she has not woken up in the middle of the night.. she will wake this morning at 7 AM. We love having her.
