Q. & A. with Deborah

  • Why did you start breeding?

    first started out showing champion bloodlines Aussies and wanted something smaller that my kids could show as well so I researched the healthiest and most kid-friendly breed and the bonus was that they did not shed so we searched and finally got our first baby and we were in love so much that this became the only breed we raised, showed in Akc jr showing, (won lots of ribbons)

  • What makes your program special?

    providing all this love and therapy to deserving homes, my babies do come a tad pre-spoiled.

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

    Our puppies include tricolor, lilac, cream and white, chocolate and tan, chocolate, black, liver, gold, red, gold and white, white, red and white, brindle and white, liver and white, black and white, black gold and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Deborah was very delightful to work with while I was researching and looking for the perfect puppy. She was always very responsive on any questions I had. Deborah sent weekly updates along with pictures. This provided a wonderful way to watch Dexter grow. I could tell Deborah really values the breed and takes cautions when it comes to their health. After we brought Dexter home Deborah stayed in contact to check up on how he was doing. I will definitely contact Deborah again when we are ready for another puppy.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Deborah as the breeder of my puppy, Peter. From the very beginning, Deborah was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the care and well-being of her dogs. Peter is not only adorable but also healthy, well-socialized, and has an amazing temperament. It’s clear that Deborah put a lot of time, love, and attention into raising him during those critical early weeks. She was also very responsive to my questions and made sure I felt confident and prepared before bringing Peter home. What stood out most was how much Deborah genuinely cares—not just about her puppies, but about placing them in the right homes. That level of dedication and integrity is rare and truly appreciated. I highly recommend Deborah to anyone looking for a responsible, caring breeder. Thank you for bringing Peter into my life—he’s already such a joy!

    Deborah was an exceptional breeder to work with! She was very responsive to my questions, typically responding within hours. Deborah consistently provided weekly updates, including pictures and videos of our puppy. When we met to take our puppy home, she equipped us with all the necessary resources to ensure a smooth transition for him and addressed all of our questions thoroughly, without making us feel rushed. We were so happy to see that our puppy was well-socialized, potty-mat trained, and overall has a great temperament. We are so grateful to have found her, as she genuinely cares about the well-being of her dogs and dedicates herself fully to their upbringing.

    Deborah was a pleasure to work with. I traveled all the way from Montana to pick up Fizzy, and she made the entire process incredibly easy. He has brought so much joy into my life, and I can’t thank her enough.
