Q. & A. with Angie
Why did you start breeding?
I had been working as a vet tech for over 20 years. I had gained invaluable knowledge and experience over the years and wanted to put it to good use and breed high-quality dogs responsibly.What makes your program special?
All of my puppies are whelped and raised in our home. I raise them using the Early Neurological Stimulation program to create smarter, more trainable puppies. I also use techniques from Puppy Culture to ensure I am socializing them to the best of my ability and preparing them for success in their forever homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
