I'm Juanita C., the breeder behind Blue Run PWD located in Farmingdale, NJ. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I love matching healthy, happy puppies with loving families.
Q. & A. with Juanita
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed 12 years ago when I got my first PWD, Max. I then got my first girl, Finn, one year later from Cheryl Hoofnagle who became my mentor and friend.
What makes your program special?
We are a selective program that focuses on temperament and structure. My dogs are shown in conformation. I track with yearly contact to assess the health and temperament of my dogs. We are breeding to produce happy and healthy puppies that can continue to excel in their new homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
