Q. & A. with Sabine
Why did you start breeding?
Responsible, ethical breeders play an important role in the future of the dog ecosystem. I wanted to put my passion for American Shepherds to good use. Breeding healthy, happy puppies is one way to give back to the well-being of the breed and the families who love them. I want nothing more than to see each of my dogs shine and I pride myself on helping all of my clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.What makes your program special?
Bjork Mini American Shepherds is committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality that I have deemed appropriate to improving this wonderful breed. My focus on health, conformation, and function is what brings my program to the front of the pack.
