Q. & A. with Alex
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in first sprouted in 2016. I knew I wanted a well bred, purebred large, versatile sporting/working dog - so the research began! By 2017, I had my mind SET on Beaucerons. This is when my passion REALLY grew. By 2018, I knew I wanted to dedicate my time to preserving this amazing breed! By 2019, I had my 1st Beauce, 2nd by 2023! I hope to have 2 more by the end of 2025!What makes your program special?
Every puppy I produce is very important to me, as long as they live. My top priority as a breeder is setting up my puppies, and puppy buyers up for lifelong success. I thoroughly interview potential buyers, select the best match, and remain available for life-long support. Puppies go home with custom care packages, and All puppies remain "Co-Owned" for their entire life, to ensure their safety!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include harlequin and black and rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
