Q. & A. with Rachel
Why did you start breeding?
I had researched the breed years ago for their temperament and no-low shedding capability, but couldn't justify the price at the time. Years later, after the death of my oldest son - my counselor recommended the family get one to aid in their grief. After seeing the joy & healing he brought we saw it as a ministry opportunity to provide the same furry love to other families.What makes your program special?
Personalized attention to families & lifetime support. Health and temperament of parents. Puppies are raised with Puppy Culture protocols. Our dogs are our pets. They live 100% in our home all day and sleep with us at night! We partner with our local personal trainer to help aid in training.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream and apricot. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
