Why did you start breeding?
My mother passed, and I was left to care for my brother. I was home a lot and my love for dogs inspired me to try breeding. I love puppies and I really enjoy making people smile when they get their new baby!❤️🐶What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

+6This was our first experience buying a puppy and I am SO happy that Carla was who we went with! She was so responsive, explained lots to me, and was patient. She just wanted to educate me and never made me feel bad for not knowing things. She was very responsive and so so easy to work with. She even FaceTimed us so we could see her a few times 😭. We got our puppy at 8 weeks old in August and now have an almost 6 month old. She’s full of attitude and she’s a diva, but she’s so smart and healthy! And we are in love with her coat colors! If we ever get a mini schnauzer again, we will be coming to Carla again! 10/10!!

Perfectly ! I was able to talk to Selene every week for an update and picture on my baby. She was super communicative and understanding even with my questions and concerns. I can tell she is loving and careful with all these babies ! Thank you so much for caring for my baby before he was delivered to me 🫶🏾

We had the experience with Carla when we were in search of our little babies. We brought Josie home on January 8th, and she’s grown so big. She’s the most adorable and mild tempered little sweetheart one could imagine. We love her and would definitely consider Carla again in the future.

+8Carla responded to me within 30 minutes of me contacting her through the app. She was extremely informative during the call. She was willing to meet me half way to pick up our puppy which I thought was extremely nice and convenient! The dog wr got from her is amazing! Beautiful color and amazing temperament. We couldn't be happier!
