Q. & A. with Teresa Pepper
Why did you start breeding?
I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. I started breeding to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments that are exemplary representations of the breed.What makes your program special?
When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, and ability.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
