Q. & A. with Leslie
Why did you start breeding?
I started showing dogs in 1978 and after several years I started breeding. We are passionate about Pointers and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program.What makes your program special?
We focus on producing dogs who meet the standard in looks and temperaments and who will live long healthy lives. As most of our puppies go into companion homes we want them to live long healthy lives.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
