All puppies will come with limited AKC or APRI papers.

Q. & A. with Margaret

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding after owning my first doxie! Once I realized these beautiful creatures were more like little humans I was hooked. I grew and apprenticed through a well known breeder in Nebraska before expanding a program to here in MN. I wanted to focus on enhancing color with a healthy style.

  • What makes your program special?

    It is really all hands on deck over here! We want your special baby to be prepared for life! We work on all elements from stair training, to create practice, name recognition and manners!

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Our puppies include miniature and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat types in your program?

    Our puppies include longhaired and smooth coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include piebald, cream, red, black and tan, and dapple. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Margaret was so nice to work with. We considered are experience with her to be great. She sent us some really cute pictures once a week. Which made us feel very connected to our sunny girl. She was very helpful with links andhelping me with how to makepayments, as I'm not so good with computer stuff. Our puppy is just amazing. She's in great health and a very happy girl. Overall we were very satified.

    Margaret, was amazing to work with! The process from contacting her, keeping in touch with pictures of Duet, to paying with no worries and picking her up. Went as smooth as possible. I wouldn’t think twice about purchasing another puppy from her. Her dogs are very intelligent and sweet!! I couldn’t ask for a better little girl.
