Q. & A. with Roberta (Bobby)
Why did you start breeding?
I was talked into a German Shepherd by a friend who was living with me at the time. I bought a pet from a fabulous local breeder who talked me into going to a dog show. I was hooked. I love the breed, I love puppies, I love seeing a puppy I put my heart and soul into trotting around a big ring. Put all that together and you have a breeder.What makes your program special?
I want other people to have the experiences I've had with the breed. I breed for health and temperament a dog that can work then come in, settle down, watch TV with me, or lay at my feet while I work. I don't want puppy buyers to have health issues or training problems any more than I want them with my own dogs. As a breeder, I am always available to help when there is an issue.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
