Q. & A. with Bridget
Why did you start breeding?
As I started into the show world you get to see the pride of a owner/handlers. I saw the pride of breeders as their lines win. Looking to see what I wanted in a dog that carried my Kennel name MiOwn. Not only the dog at the end of my lead but, the puppies and dogs that would one day become family members to loving homes. Looking to improve. Having fun & being active with my dogs in many sports.
What makes your program special?
I have never been one to breed very often. I just don't breed for puppies, I bred for my next family, show potential. A well balanced,healthy,mentally and structured pup is so important to me. But, not all puppies are show puppies but, all puppies are loving family members. I guarantee any puppy that comes from us will always have a home with us at any age.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
