Meet the breeder
I'm Michelle B., the breeder behind SnoCap Kennel located in Prince William County, VA. My dogs earn titles on both ends of their name, as well as the heart of their family. All dogs are raised with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies. I make sure that my puppies completement the family they go to. They are socialized young to make a great family dog.
Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I have spent the last 10 years learning as much as I can about the breed and continue to learn something new every day. I want to help improve the breed by breeding dogs to the breed standard and bringing new bloodlines into my pedigree.What makes your program special?
All the dogs in my breeding program have been health tested. Any breeding I do, is to make improvements on the next generation and to make sure they can continue doing what they were originally breed for. My number one goal is temperament. My dogs excel inside the ring and out.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and white and gray and white. 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.

The whole process was pretty quick and painless you can tell they care about the dogs first vetting and seeing how the dogs like the people before even making a decision and the fact that they chose us was amazing we've had our boy for the last 2 or 3 weeks and we're so thankful michelle was super nice and knowledgable telling us events and basic know how for this breed and as we put the advice to use he's slowly grown into our baby boy
