Q. & A. with Mariah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our dogs were bred as we were inspired by our female Millie, whose personality is outstanding. She is a loyal companion who is able to follow commands and learn new tricks and commands swiftly. With inspiration from her, we wanted every family to have what Millie give us as a companion and true retriever. All of our adult dogs and puppies are bred in the home and kept in the home.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Dilute Retriever puppies include silver, charcoal, yellow, black, chocolate, fox red, and champagne. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
