Q. & A. with Maria
Why did you start breeding?
We got our first Norwich - Staci, and fell in love with this magical breed. As we added dogs to the family, we added activities, AKC shows, dog clubs, etc. Breeding was a natural extension that came after a lot of work and learning. It's not easy - but it's something I love to do.What makes your program special?
I work as hard as I can to make sure I can breed the highest quality, healthiest puppies possible. I am constantly learning from canine experts, behavioral specialists and other breeders I respect - trying to make my program grow and get better. In addition, I do research on the different pedigrees, going back over 15 generations - to help keep known health problems out of my line.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include wheaten, red, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
