Q. & A. with Yesenia
Why did you start breeding?
After years of researching for the perfect breed for me, I fell in love with the Kooiker breed. A few years after acquiring my first 3 and understanding them more fully I chose to start breeding to help other families have the opportunity to enjoy this amazing breed, as well as to assist in the growing of our gene pool. Breeding is a lot of work, love and dedication and it is my calling.What makes your program special?
I focus highly on the health, care and socialization of each puppy. They live inside our house with us and are extremely socialized. Once they are 6 weeks old, we take them on field trips to safe areas so they experience life outside of our home as well. We also perform Early Scent Introduction (ESI) and the Early Neurological Stimulation exercises. They are extremely loved from day one.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
