Q. & A. with Jenny
Why did you start breeding?
I've always been surrounded by cats and dogs growing up and fell in love with this breed and its standards.
What makes your program special?
My dogs are healthy, well-socialized and undergo training every day to ensure the most well-rounded puppies. New litters start training and desensitization since day 1.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and sesame. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
