Q. & A. with Cesar
Why did you start breeding?
AKC conformation and dog shows around the USA opened my eyes to idea of improving and preserving the breed.
What makes your program special?
Health, temperament, and conformation are my biggest goals. Not every breeder is the same, and I set myself apart from breeders that breed untested dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our French Bulldog puppies include brindle and fawn. Black Russian Terrier puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
