Dr. Ekiria Collins, PhD, MPH, LSSGB

Upon completing both her undergraduate and graduate studies at Baylor University and acquiring invaluable experience within the Neonatal ICU at Texas Children's Hospital, Dr. Ekiria Collins, our esteemed founder, cultivated a deep-seated passion for nurturing and caregiving. Motivated by her unwavering dedication to the well-being of children and families, alongside a rich history of community service, she embarked on a journey toward embracing responsible pet parenting. This odyssey commenced with meticulous research and extensive engagement with numerous breeders, enlightening her on the imperative of steering clear of commercial pet stores that operated without transparency in their breeding practices. Witnessing disconcerting narratives of dogs being born in puppy mills and encountering unethical breeding methodologies further galvanized her steadfast commitment to upholding ethical standards in breeding.

Drawing upon her family's heritage in the breeding domain dating back to 1987, Ekiria, despite initially harboring aspirations for a career in the medical field, found herself impassioned to perpetuate the commendable breeding practices ingrained in her from childhood. Seamlessly amalgamating her educational and medical acumen, she formally established herself as a professional and reputable breeder in 2007. Over seventeen years hence, her devotion to nurturing high-caliber, robust, and well-socialized puppies remains resolute, with the active involvement of her family in this noble pursuit. Subsequently, our network has flourished to encompass a cadre of esteemed allies and patrons who collaborate with us, acknowledging the collective endeavor indispensable in fostering Gold Standard Puppies trademarked as Pet Preneurs™️.

At the crux of our philosophy lies a profound gratitude for our clientele, transcending the confines of mere transactions. We aspire to be an indispensable companion throughout the entirety of your puppy's journey. To realize this vision, we extend an array of supportive measures, including parent video consultations before our maternal figures deliver, scheduled video interactions tailored for fostering familial and puppy bonds, in addition to regular visual updates capturing pivotal developmental milestones. Moreover, we offer enduring mentorship and counsel on rearing your puppy, ensuring that our relationship with you perseveres well beyond the initial adoption phase.

This narrative encapsulates the saga of our founder and the bedrock principles that underscore our breeding enterprise, underscoring our steadfast commitment to ethical paradigms and perpetual support for our cherished patrons and their beloved companions.
