About Mimi
Although I am very involved in showing my dogs, they are beloved companions first and foremost. I decided to responsibly breed them as a way to connect my pups to others that will love them just as much as I do. My dogs are my family, and I can't wait to welcome you into our community!
What makes Mimi’s program special
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care. I look forward to helping you find the puppy of your dreams!

I believe it is important to start puppies off on the right paw with confidence building, basic manners, and obedience at a young age, so they are set up for success in their new homes. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Various Surfaces, Sound Stimulation, Human Interactions, Various People, Basic Manners, Initial House Training, Crate Training, and Socialized with Adult Dogs.
I prioritize the health and well-being of each one of my puppies, and I follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
We send our puppies home with Microchip.

Why Mimi started breeding
I fell in love with the Afghan Hound breed and decided to start my own responsible breeding program in order to continue my incredible line and to share these wonderful dogs with others. I’m passionate about what I do and am dedicated to producing healthy, quality dogs. It's an amazing feeling knowing I have made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families that love them.
