Q. & A. with Emily
Why did you start breeding?
I have always wanted to breed since I was a little girl. Now it’s a reality and I’m proud to contribute to the breed I love so dearly.What makes your program special?
I really take the time out to update families as often as they like, and often without being asked. I think the stages they are with me are important and need to be shared with the new owner not only to look back on but to better understand what type of environment my puppies are raised in. Contact with buyers is very important to me.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
