Q. & A. with Shayla
Why did you start breeding?
With over 20 years of experience in the animal care industry, I have embraced various roles including groomer, breeder, veterinary assistant, and dog psychologist and AKC Owner Handler. This extensive journey has empowered me to read a dog’s energy and understand its unique traits and personality, nurturing a deeper connection between humans and their beloved companions.
What makes your program special?
I take great pride in nurturing and providing the best quality puppies possible. As a full-time dog groomer, my passion for dogs extends beyond just breeding—it's truly my way of life. For over 25 years, I have dedicated myself to this journey, and every moment has been incredibly rewarding. My puppies grow up in a loving home environment, surrounded by other dogs, ensuring they are well-socialized and friendly. I believe that every puppy deserves the utmost care and attention.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include lavender, wolf sable, black and tan, tri-colored, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
