Q. & A. with Megan
Why did you start breeding?
I bred trained and managed horses for years professionally and when I decided to make a switch to a hobby equestrian I discovered the beauty of purebred dogs. I love it when people actually do things with their dogs and I wanted to support and breed a functional versatile dog that could do it all. Enter Swissys. One never stops learning and I love these dogs and love sharing them with others.What makes your program special?
I put an immense amount of effort, blood, sweat, tears, and love into my dogs and my puppies. I stand behind them and support them and their families for life. I bring them into the world, you better believe I'm there for the long haul. I believe in form, function, health, and mental stability and strive to produce dogs with all of these. Working dogs with nice temperaments capable of doing it all.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
