Q. & A. with Katlyn

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started showing at a very young age and have always had shelties. I’m now at a point I want to have a few litters over the years to continue showing and raising pretty shelties that my children can enjoy with me someday.

  • What makes your program special?

    They are raised as part of my family in our home. They all have great outgoing personalities that will be fun for showing and being pets.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
