Why Andrea started breeding
I knew I wanted to be a small hobby breeder from a very young age. From the first time I whelped and raised a litter with my family at a very young age. I was ALL hands on.I fell in love with it all ! IT STUCK TO ME FOR LIFE! I continued learning all aspects of ethical animal husbandry as I got older. And the more I learned the more passionate about it I became. One of my favorite aspects of it is the grooming. But of course all dogs also need training, premium nutrition,babies need top canine neonatal care, all prospects need health testing/screening ,how to read and study pedigrees, breed standards, genetics and so much more. And YES I am still learning. I DO NOT KNOW IT ALL. I felt I found my life's purpose in working with dogs so starting a breeding program for me was a lifelong planned decision. I always knew I wanted to be a breeder at some point in my life. Seeing how much love and joy puppies bring into this world it's amazing and to be a part of that is truly a blessing. My family and I are blessed to be able to do this and we do it with love dedication and pride. Bringing a puppy into a family is very much like hand picking a baby to adopt. So in a way I am a surrogate but instead of babies I have puppies that bring so much joy .
