Q. & A. with Rosanna
Why did you start breeding?
We bought Sola Mae under a breeding contract as her breeder wanted a pup from her. She and a few other breeders have mentored us through this process and we enjoyed so much of the adventure!
What makes your program special?
We raise our pups in our home from birth to going home. The pups are raised with love by all of our family members. We litter train them, which helps them with potty training, expose them to many novel stimuli, use the Puppy Culture Protocols to ensure that puppies receive the right experiences at the right time. We love matching puppies with their new homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
