Q. & A. with Leslie
Why did you start breeding?
Our decision to breed has been many years in the making. We wanted to make sure we knew the breed well, the timing was right, and that we were ready. We can’t wait to have our first litter!What makes your program special?
Our dogs are raised in our home- they sleep with us, travel with us and pretty much do everything with us. I show dogs in performance and really love it because it shows people how versatile this breed is. I also love to educate people on this breed- and now I can share my knowledge of these wonderful little dogs with my future puppy owners. When you choose us as your breeder and we choose you as parents, you become part of our family and the adventure begins!What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have powderpuff coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

Cooter, dad
Chinese Crested
About Cooter
Cooter is a silly, happy young man. He LOVES to play sports- we compete in agility and FCAT. We are working on dock diving and he is jumping off the ramp! He holds his puppy star, CGC, trick advanced, BCAT, and ACT I AKC titles and we are working on more. He loves being with me and my husband and our pack. His favorite thing to do is cuddle, play, and act silly (like smiling, singing and talking)!
