Q. & A. with Andrea
Why did you start breeding?
I've owned the breed for years and decided I wanted to raised quality pups to improve the breed. I contacted a few other breeders to mentor me and went from there.
What makes your program special?
We thrive to produce the best quality by health testing all parents. We give a 2 year health contract on all my pups. We enjoy seeing families with their pups. If for any reason a puppy isn't working out in their new home, we take the pup back.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
