Q. & A. with Gina
Why did you start breeding?
I just fell in love with the breed and worked with many mentors in the breed to learn how to do it well.What makes your program special?
I don’t have many litters and that helps give the time to plan and do right by each puppy. I do appropriate testing on the parents before I breed to help breed the right dogs together. All puppies are veterinarian tested before they go to there forever homes.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include stock, plush, and long coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black and tan and black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
