Q. & A. with Lisa
Why did you start breeding?
Studied the breed over 26 plus years . Worked for vets and groomers . Found it the best all around breed for me not for everyone . I got into breeding by wanting to see the best and most sound dogs exhibited . I spend a lot of time studying pedigrees . As well as traveling the world to meet other am staffs and enthusiasts . I find it most important to have a great mind on a dog than win ribbons . The dogs in our home are what we keep for their lives . They don’t get sent out to kennels to live and be bred . They are to be number one family pets . Competition is secondary to us . We take pride in our dogs . We have had dogs on television , you tube videos and at the state capitol fighting for breed specific legislation . The dogs are our whole lives and make our lives whole .What makes your program special?
I’m a complete hobby breeder. I don’t hardly breed . When I do it’s for the better of the breed . To emphasize the best characteristics. Quality over quantity .What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
