Q. & A. with Beth
Why did you start breeding?
A consistent love for the Old English Sheepdog breed encouraged the beginning of my program. I am passionate about this breed and wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups while also improving the line with each generation. I love placing happy, healthy puppies with loving families.
What makes your program special?
I am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have produced and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I can provide extensive knowledge and guidance for any family looking to adopt one of these wonderful dogs. In my breeding program, good health and temperament are essential, cuteness is guaranteed, and lots of love is always included.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
