Q. & A. with Alexis
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised with Danes my whole life and always loved the breed, once doing proper research over the span of many years I decided I would start breeding.
What makes your program special?
My babies are raised inside of my home with love from me and my family. I start early socializing with a variety of methods, along with obedience training starting at just a few weeks old!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, fawn, blue, harlequin, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
