Q. & A. with Annabel
Why did you start breeding?
My love for these wonderful breeds inspired me to share them with the world in a responsible way. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others. It has been an absolute joy of a journey and I pride myself on helping all of my clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Brittanys, German Shorthaired Pointers, Redbone Coonhounds. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I work with passion, heart, and integrity, and I truly want what's best for these wonderful dogs of mine.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
