Q. & A. with Martha
Why did you start breeding?
My parents had Wire Fox Terriers and I just naturally fell into it. I had great mentors and teachers in my twenties who helped me along and encouraged me every step.
What makes your program special?
I believe in a great dog that you can live with easily. I stay in touch with my puppy buyers. I have the names and info on every person I have ever sold a dog to. I have the parents and grandparents on site. I encourage buyers to keep in touch with me and friend me on Facebook a well. I use Puppy Culture methods with each litter.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include powderpuff and hairless coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, chocolate, pink, palomino, brown, apricot, red, black and tan, black and white, and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
