Q. & A. with Patti
Why did you start breeding?
My family bred Racing Quarter Horses, Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd Dogs. I am third generation breeder for dogs and horses so it’s in my blood!What makes your program special?
We carefully select each Sire and Dam for each breeding we do. Our goal is to produce healthy, happy, sound dogs that can be used for show or companions. We complete all health tests on potential Sires and Dams before breeding and offer a lifetime health warranty on genetics tested on each puppy we place.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
