Q. & A. with Kaitlynn
Why did you start breeding?
My mom use to work as a kennel technician for a big scale dog kennel back in Colorado, I remember going to work with her from time to time and I love the whole process of things, love watching puppies be born and then watch them as they grow and then the joy they bring to everyone once they get their puppies. There is no better feeling than being able to provide people with their best friend.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are raised in our home with daily socialization and are introduced to Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS) and Early Scent Introduction (ESI) to help build confidence. We are committed to responsible breeding and providing lifelong support to our puppy families, ensuring each puppy has the best possible start and is matched with the right home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
