Q. & A. with Trisina
Why did you start breeding?
I started my journey as a guardian home for a beautiful standard Bernedoodle. After some peculiar circumstances I was able to help with the last litter of our sweet Tanzy. With mentorship, I was taught that it's not hard to separate yourself from the masses. Just a little bit extra on a daily basis creates puppies that are not only superb companions but can go on to be incredible service animals.
What makes your program special?
We follow a strict curriculum that ensures the puppies strong development. We test the parents and each puppy is also Embark tested. In the first 2 weeks, we conduct something called ENS and ESI. This helps them with neurological stimulation and sensory perception. When they are about six weeks we do temperament testing so we can place them in the best home possible.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini, medium, and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, black, black and white, tri-color, phantom, and merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
