Q. & A. with Shirley

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I wanted to be able to share with the world , the kind of joy and happiness these particular dogs personalities could bring you . One look in those big kind eyes , floppy ears , wagging tails makes all the stresses and unhappiness melt away

    Because my program is small I am able to be very choosy of the quality of puppies I produce. Parents will be small, I’m very big on good conformation and pretty head and faces . I’m able to give each and every puppy the care , attention, and socializing that allow for these puppies to go on and strive at their forever homes

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

    Our puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

    I brought home my mini dachshund, Kerry, from Shirley and she's thriving with her two brothers and sister! Their process was seamless-clear info, friendly team, and Kerry is healthy and full of spunk. Already a pack star. Thanks, Shirley!

    Shirley knows this breed and her pups are worth the investment. She is very responsive, kind and the experience of getting my puppy was nothing short of perfect. It was convenient for us to pick her up at Shirley's ranch and I had the opportunity to see how well they are cared for, and happy! I would highly recommend this breeder to anyone and have suggested her to friends thinking of getting a puppy.

    I loved working with Shirley and love my little Nugget. She met me at the Orlando train station which was quite a drive with her and brought a bag of goodies for him including a blanket and toys. It is very apparent that my puppy has been well socialized and received lots of love and attention growing up. I highly recommend Shirley and her puppies. Thank you so much!!

    From A to Z she knows exactly what to do when it comes not only to breeding puppies but the transparency in the pup she is selling! documentation health records came spot on with all the necessary vaccines and paperwork and the vests were very glad to see that! She allowed me to visit the mom and dad before making my purchase and today we have Noah and Delilah, siblings from the same little of their lovely mommy Party. She was a pleasure to work with and we are very pleased.
