Q. & A. with Marc
Why did you start breeding?
My family friend is a show breeder of registered show dogs for Australian labradoodles. He has shown me the ropes in how to create a line of nice show dogs with health standards that go beyond the breed requirements to ensure amazing pets for great homes. The image ability to research and configure a reputable kennel was fascinating and a challenge we were willing to accept.What makes your program special?
We aren’t the status quo it isn’t about the money, it’s about producing quality pets and show dogs. We always put our best into anything we strive to do and we always envision creating a healthy pet. Our vision is to bring quality to your home and an everlasting experience for you and your familyWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our French Bulldog puppies include brindle, cream, fawn, tricolors, and black and tan. Doberman Pinscher puppies include black and rust and red and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
