Q. & A. with Lorna
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised into it, we always had baby animals when I was growing up.What makes your program special?
I focus on health and temperament, with a side fondness for solid black. Puppies are raised to be as confident and social as possible, We love the sleak look that only true performance can create so we have active dogs who stay lean and can RUN like the breed was originally intended to do.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include seal, blue fawn, fawn, blue, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
