Q. & A. with Gretchen
Why did you start breeding?
When I purchased my first Beagle the breeder asked if I would be interested in showing and I agreed as I had a history in showing Arabian Horses. She turned out to be a lovely Beagle that other Beagle breeders encouraged me to breed.What makes your program special?
I focus on breeding's that are true to our standard combined with lovely temperaments and good health. I am active in both the show world and the exciting new sport of Scent Work demonstrating that beautiful Beagles can also be smart!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
