Q. & A. with Rozlynn
Why did you start breeding?
We became breeders after entertaining the thought for months. We had been looking into being a guardian home for a local breeder and through a series of events decided to pursue breeding. We are working hand in hand with our guardian dog and her owner/breeder.
What makes your program special?
My background in nursing greatly assists our program by understanding anatomy, biology, and genetics. Breeding for health and structure are of top priorities. Five children and our friends ensure well-rounded and socialized puppies!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include miniature and medium sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include caramel and chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
