Q. & A. with Virginia
Why did you start breeding?
I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to help build a better and safer world for our dogs. It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
We take responsible breeding very seriously. As breeders, we are stewards of the future of the breed, so we are careful to always have ethical breeding practices. This includes proper health testing, intentional breeding for specific traits, and raising our puppies with proper socialization. From birth, puppies grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. If you are looking for the perfect furry companion, look no further!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
