Q. & A. with Edwin
Why did you start breeding?
I am 59 and have been involved with raising canine since a very early age. My parents raised miniature feist/rat terriers for many years. I was raised on a small farm raising all breeds of livestock specifically AQHA Quarter Horses.What makes your program special?

Litter and program updates
Edwin B.
Litter update on 19 May •…Good afternoon everyone. My family and I have decided that Lou is available for her next forever Home and family. She was the only female in this litter of five. We were keeping her in mind for my Precious 89-year-old Mother. Lou was actually named after her being that is my Mother’s middle name. She decided a puppy would be too much for her even though we’re all in the same household. I’m including a video from today and if you need pictures, they will be available.

Program update on 18 May •…Eight weeks old today. Eating dry dog food, not having to grind it or moisten it with warm water. We have special-needs children with around the clock, nurses, my precious 89 year old Mother here, so they are having plenty of acclamation and socialization. But with that I am almost concerned that they will all be staying here. But we all know they would do such better in a new home 😊

Program update on 13 May •…Such a beautiful day!! Twin and Big Ted awaiting for their next forever home and are ready to go even though it’s a few days early before their 8 week old birthday. They are such a joy to our family as they get to stay inside for a little when they wake up and in the afternoon and in the evening before they go to bed. So many different people personalities they get to share their lives with everyday❤️

Program update on 07 May •…Enjoying a beautiful afternoon here in West Tennessee after eating one of their meals for the day. Axel went to his forever home yesterday and checkers is going to his tomorrow. Twin and Big Red still available.CKC papers in hand /vaccination records/blanket/bag of feed awaiting their new families

Program update on 03 May •…As I mentioned in one of the videos this was 7 days ago on their first day out of the house. We are keeping the only female Lou. Tucker(Checkers),is getting to go to his forever home Saturday. Little Red(Axel) is soon to be with my wife’s co-worker/friend when they return from Italy. Big Red which would be my pick, is available. His chocolate and white coat just stands out to me and now green eyes are just a sight to see. His personality is what really keeps my attention and his willingness to listen is just extra ordinary. Twin,named because of appearance to Lou is also available. He is the smallest of the group but doesn’t get bossed out of the food bowls or back down in tug of war with chew tows. They are all on their way to get their vaccinations, deworming, and wellness exam certificates as they will be 6 weeks old tomorrow.

Program update on 30 Apr •Yesterday morning out for the day and their 3rd feeding. Doing so good and discovering their personalities!

About COCO
Coco is a beautiful silver and white parti with very attractive hazel eyes. As stated in the sire’s description, I purchased her from Wilma at the age of 18 months only due to the fact that I was wanting a young adult and she was changing directions in color choosing Merle. Coco has acclimated to our home with three special needs children, around the clock nurses, my 89 year old Mother as all of these new puppies have been introduced to, so amazingly well. How grateful we are to have her as an addition to our blessed Family!
