Q. & A. with Darryl
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had dogs and cannot imagine life without them. We love each one of our dogs and know that they love us in return unconditionally. We have met so many people that share our passion for dogs and especially this breed. I left my corporate job so I could do what I really love to do. Our goal is to breed beautiful, healthy, confident puppies that will bring you joy as they have for us.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, liver, salt and pepper, black and silver, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
