Q. & A. with Sydney
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always wanted to do something with animals but I had a lot of allergies in my childhood to animals. When I became married and had children, I decided to research a good breed and ended up with a wonderful Yorkipoo and she saved my life. I wanted the world to experience what I’ve experienced with her. The unconditional love and compassion a dog can give is something anyone should have. I’m happy to breed!
What makes your program special?
We make breeding possible in the comfort of our home where our dogs are loved throughout the year and not used just for breeding purposes. We make sure all our animals are well kept and well-loved.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
