Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always been a dog lover. I had dogs growing up. Bred my first litter when I was 16 years old.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is small. I breed only for something to show. I will sell pet quality puppies if they don’t fit my breed standard.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
