Q. & A. with Denise

• Why did you start breeding?

  Breeding began as a family adventure. There is considerable time, effort, precision and expense that goes into breeding and raising puppies with excellence. Both of our dog parents have been DNA tested, and have passed every OFA testing (hips, eyes, elbows, heart and patella) recommended for their breeds. The puppies will be faithfully cared for in our home to help them develop a strong bond to humans. We utilize their parents to help the puppies begin basic training around 3-4 weeks. This includes potty training, introduction to crate, introduction to leash and basic commands like “sit”, “here”, and “stay”. We will provide each puppy ample opportunity to socialize with other animals, various humans of all ages/shapes/voices as well as introduce the puppies to various sounds/sights/textures and play equipment to help build their confidence.
