Q. & A. with Angel
Why did you start breeding?
I had researched so much on the Great Dane that when I finally got my very own, I fell so in love with her. She was everything I wanted in a dog and my best friend. That being said, I couldn't have just one and purchased another. I thought of all the family's who were missing out on the breed (not common in my area at all) so I jumped on board to health test and breed. The rest is history and I love it!
What makes your program special?
First off, I look at the health of my dogs and then the healthy outcome of my puppies to be. But right after health I only want to breed dogs that meet all AKC standards and health plus temperament! I don't want to breed dogs that don't pass the temperament test! I take pride in my babies and I make sure that I'm with mom every step of the way with delivery and constant monitoring for the first week❤.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
