Q. & A. with Endena
Why did you start breeding?
As a foster parent and social worker, I witnessed how a pet can positively impact a child’semotional well-being and behavior. After welcoming my first puppy, my passion for raising dogs grew. I wanted other families to experience the same love, comfort, and joy that a well-raised puppy can bring into a home.What makes your program special?
My puppies are raised in my home with daily love, hands-on care, and early socialization. My background as a social worker shapes how I prioritize temperament, confidence, and healthy development. Every puppy receives individual attention to help prepare them for a smooth transition into their forever family.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
