Q. & A. with Ashley
Why did you start breeding?
Our family has carried a dream to breed for over 5 years. We knew we wanted to breed the right way so we waited patiently to find the right breeder. Our breeder knew our intentions and picked out a suitable female for a family and for breeding. We did dna testing and eventually found a stud service to breed her. Our female is AKC registered and our stud is not, though still comes from a reputable bloodline.
What makes your program special?
We have only 1 dog and she’s our family dog, so she’s extremely well cared for. We are only planning on 1 maybe 2 breedings with her so this is the one and only litter that we’ve been planning for 5 years! We have dogs in and out with boarding and we are social so these pups are going to be exposed to a lot of interactions with people and animals which will really help sharpen their temperaments.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are gold brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
