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?

    Our puppies are chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
