Frequently Asked Questions

At Stephanie’s Puppy Colony, we are dedicated, responsible breeders specializing in Pembroke Welsh Corgis, Chihuahuas, and Pomchis, alongside our Fortis Legacy Kennels program for Cane Corsos and French Bulldogs.

We take pride in raising well-rounded, healthy puppies that are not only beautiful, but confidently socialized and emotionally balanced. From days 3–16, our puppies begin Early Neurological Stimulation (ENS), followed by consistent interaction with children, adults, and other animals to ensure they transition seamlessly into family life.

Our goal is simple: to match each puppy with the right home. We work closely with every family to ensure the puppy’s temperament, energy level, and personality align with your lifestyle—because the right fit truly matters.

All of our puppies are raised in our home, come from genetically tested parents, and go home up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, microchipped, and with a written health guarantee.

We don’t just breed dogs—we raise lifelong companions.

Small in size but overflowing with personality, the Chihuahua is the true definition of “tiny but mighty.” With their expressive eyes, perky ears, and confident strut, these pint-sized companions command attention wherever they go. Don’t be fooled by their delicate frame, Chihuahuas have bold, fearless hearts and a fierce loyalty to their people. Lively, intelligent, and full of sass, they love being the center of attention and thrive in homes where they can be treated like the little royalty they believe they are. Despite their small stature, Chihuahuas have big energy and benefit from playtime, short walks, and plenty of mental stimulation. They’re affectionate, alert, and endlessly entertaining, a loyal lap dog with a whole lot of attitude packed into just a few pounds.

Cane Corsos are powerful, loyal companions known for their protective nature and strong presence. They form deep bonds with their families and are naturally watchful, making them excellent guardians.

Despite their size, Corsos are intelligent, trainable, and thrive with consistent leadership and structure. They do best in active homes where they can stay engaged both mentally and physically.

Confident and devoted, Cane Corsos are loving family dogs when properly trained and socialized, offering both companionship and protection.

 French Bulldogs, or “Frenchies,” are affectionate, playful companions known for their compact size and signature bat ears. They form strong bonds with their families and do well with children and other pets.

With their low exercise needs and adaptable nature, Frenchies are great for both apartments and homes. They’re intelligent and loving, with just enough personality to keep things fun.

Loyal and easygoing, French Bulldogs make wonderful companions for a variety of lifestyles.

A delightful blend of two spirited toy breeds, the Pomchi combines the sass and loyalty of the Chihuahua with the fluff and charm of the Pomeranian. The result? A tiny, fox-faced companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Pomchis often inherit the best of both worlds, the alert, confident nature of the Chihuahua and the playful, outgoing temperament of the Pomeranian. These little dogs are known for their intelligence, expressive eyes, and luxurious coats that can range from sleek to fluffy, depending on which parent they take after. Don’t let their size fool you, they’re full of energy, curiosity, and confidence. Pomchis thrive on attention and affection, forming deep bonds with their families. With proper socialization and consistent care, they make loving, lively companions who are just as happy snuggling on your lap as they are showing off their spunky side.

Pembroke Welsh Corgis are very loyal, sweet, intelligent, playful and dedicated to their people. They have independent judgment and problem-solving abilities of a true herding breed. They’re a bright, sensitive dog who enjoys play with their human family and responds well to training. They make for hard-working, energetic, willing, and highly intelligent partners. A worthy companion for many! They are one of the world's most popular herding breeds. They average 10 to 12 inches at the shoulder and 27 to 30 pounds. 

Our puppies come with a written health guarantee and a lifetime rehoming policy. See contract for more info.
