Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
I have had to retire from my normal job and was looking into breeding when my breeder said she would help me make it work. She has been a huge help, plus the woman who has trained a couple of my dogs is a breeder who steers me in the correct directions also.What makes your program special?
The care we put into our pets, which we expend to our puppies. I’m a stay at home person who doesn’t leave much. As technology goes, we have a camera set up in all rooms and pensWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
