Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
We have devoted much of our lives to the care of animals. We pour our heart into the care of our dogs and horses and love sharing them with others. There is no better feeling than matching a pup with their perfect new parents!
What makes your program special?
We are committed to producing puppies that are healthy, structurally sound, and excellent companions. Our breeding line comes from a champion pedigree. Our dogs are also all health tested and have wonderful temperaments.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
