Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that today’s breeders are the guardians of the future Belgian Sheepdog. One of the reasons why I got into breeding is because I wanted to do my part to better the breed. My program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Belgian Sheepdog while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, conformation, and the desire to play whatever games the owner wants to try. I personally enjoy conformation, agility, obedience, and rally obedience.What makes your program special?
My dogs have health, beauty, and brains. I truly love Belgian Sheepdogs and am dedicated to looking out for these dogs as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I enjoy providing extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to bring home one of these wonderful dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
