Q. & A. with Sidney

Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding because it’s truly been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve always loved dogs, and the idea of raising puppies with care, intention, and so much love has always felt like a calling. Being able to give them the best start in life, socializing them, nurturing them, and preparing them for their forever homes is something i value deeply.
What makes your program special?
It’s not just breeding to me, it’s helping create lifelong bonds. Watching each puppy grow into a confident, happy little companion and then seeing them join a loving family is incredibly rewarding. We stay small on purpose so each puppy gets hands on care, our parents are health tested and raised like family. We will stay connected with the puppies new forever homes and offer all our support.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include golden, cream, black and tan, brown, black, and brown and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Hello Sidney, I could not have known how different Champ would be from my experience with the several terriers I've had. He is both a cuddler and a 'velcro' puppy and an absolute joy to have. He's shown a good tendency to learn good behavior, among which is the speed in learning where to 'do his business' on the potty pads like the one you included with the documentation. I've been giving him training treats each time he pees or poops on the pad, and he's frequently finding it on his own. Last week the weather provided an opportunity to introduce him to several neighbors and their dogs (just a bit of sniffing each other while I held Champ) and it went very well. I'm looking forward to spring and the chance to walk Champ around the neighborhood. Thank you for making Champ and his siblings available. I'm sure they're all just as adorable as he is.
