Q. & A. with Tom
Why did you start breeding?
My wife and I grew up with dogs. We decided to have a litter with our F1's and had a lot of fun sharing this breed with other dog lovers. We have since bred our female with a standard poodle for F1b pups and we are on our second litter with that male.
What makes your program special?
We do not have a breeding program. We have a boutique breeding program with one litter a year. Our puppies are born, and live in our living room until we find a great match for their new home.
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 are black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
