Q. & A. with John
Why did you start breeding?
As a child, I cherished raising and playing with Cocker Spaniel puppies from each litter, and I want my children to share in the same joyful experience of caring for and loving animals.What makes your program special?
We prioritize fostering a nurturing, secure environment where our puppies interact with children nearly every day. We’re also transitioning to crate training to simplify the adjustment for both puppies and their new owners.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include merle, red, brown, and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
