Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
I started with Yorkies, I bred my first one with intentions of keeping back a puppy. It was such an incredible experience but finding what I was looking for was hard. I decided I wanted to produce puppies that I would be happy to adopt myself - happy, socialized, healthy, and attractive adults.
What makes your program special?
My program is small, and we do not have puppies all the time. It is so time consuming to do it properly. We only have puppies when we are able to dedicate the time into their care and training. Our adults are our pets first and part of the family.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
