Q. & A. with Linda Gertie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We have shared and enjoyed the companionship of this unique breed since the early '90s. In 2000, we embarked on a journey of producing a more modern-day Shortie. We have fancied this breed for the last 27 years, focused on preserving and producing high-quality bloodlines.
  • What makes your program special?

    Shorties we intend to include in our breeding program must meet our high standards in sound health, gentle minds, be willing to cohabitate, and enjoy our multi-dog lifestyle.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
