Q. & A. with Jessica
What makes your program special?
Our dogs Rosie and Maisie are in our home. We don't have and "guardian homes". I believe dogs are better when the puppies are raised in a home not out in a kennel. The sounds, smells, and constant touch from kids and adults helps make a well rounded dog.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black rust and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
