Q. & A. with Jodi
Why did you start breeding?
We love Shelties. Our dogs have brought us so much joy and happiness that we wanted to give back to them by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. Our goal is to not only produce beautiful, healthy puppies but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Shetland Sheepdog will continue to thrive for generations to come.What makes your program special?
Our involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that we breed our dogs by. We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of the breed. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
