Q. & A. with Teresa
Why did you start breeding?
I had a friend who got two puppies and saw how much love and joy they brought to the family and was inspired to do the same for others.What makes your program special?
My puppies's parents are my family pets and are raised in my home, not in a kennel. I make sure by 8 weeks, the puppies are 80% potty trained, had their first shots and vet exam done and are well-socialized.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent dogs
Lily, mom
Pug
About Lily
Lily is a very sweet girl. She's a good mamma and has had 3 successful litters so far. She is 75% pug and 25% beagle. Having beagle genes in her makes puppies healthier with less health problems that purebred pugs deal with. She loves running through the forest around my home, chewing on a bone and being near her humans.
COCO, dad
Pug
About COCO
Coco is an incredibly sweet boy! He loves everyone - other dogs, children and any human he meets. He loves belly rubs, dinner time and going on long walks through the forest around my home.
