Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
I strive to not only breed beautiful puppies and produce my next conformation prospect, but to help promote responsible breeding and the LUA (low uric acid) gene, in order to ensure that the dalmatian can continue to healthily thrive for generations to come.
What makes your program special?
I am a proud breeder of dalmatians and am so excited to share my love of them with those who appreciate them just as much as I do! My involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I will always stand behind my puppies, before and after they leave my home. I hold high expectations for my puppies & strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
