Q. & A. with Marci
Why did you start breeding?
I have been in the dog world since I was 10. I have bred many litters of Alaskan huskies, while I worked and showed my Samoyeds. I am fortunate to be in a place in my life and have great mentors to be able to breed the beautiful dogs I have. I am fortunate to be trusted with the amazing lines of dogs and I want others to be fortunate to share their lives with this beautiful breed.
What makes your program special?
First of all a healthy dog is important. As a breeder we strive to produce healthy dogs that live to a ripe old age. I health test my dogs, finish their championship, and participate in working events. My puppies will be socialized, healthy and ready for the agility ring, or a hike with their family.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white, cream, and biscuit. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
