Q. & A. with Amber
Why did you start breeding?
At a young age my grandfather bred hunting dogs. I was infatuated with studying bloodlines, hunting trials & of course raising the puppies! Its hard to have a bad day after a dose of puppy breath.What makes your program special?
My dogs have been hand picked from all over the country. I’ve gone to great lengths to ensure healthy bloodlines, solid bone structure & the best disposition the breed can offer.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red & white, black & white, blue merle, black tri, red tri, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
