I'm Naniece B., the breeder behind Sierra Frenchies located in Reno, NV. My breeding program is intended for conformation showing and competing in various dog sports. I breed to the standard. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs.
Q. & A. with Naniece
Why did you start breeding?
I bred my first show dogs to improve my current line. I loved it so much I've continued to breed.
What makes your program special?
My husband has a PhD in Cellular Biochemistry with expertise in nutrition. Above all else, the nutritional guidance for the well being of mom and puppies sets the bar very high for my breeding program. This nutritional focus is also applied to all life stages and, in particular, the seniors.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
