Q. & A. with LAURA

Why did you start breeding?
I grew up on a farm and have always loved animals and animal reproduction. My career is in reproduction (cattle). I love well bred dogs and people so it was a natural fit.

What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Our puppies include sable, black, brown, and parti. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
