Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
I started showing dogs at 7yrs old and saw a Sheltie at a show and decided I would like one. I was able to get my first Sheltie in 1977 and she earned several Obedience titles and had some success in the show ring and whelping box. Some of my dogs still trace back to her.What makes your program special?
I focus on sound dogs that can work both physically and mentally and are correct according to standard. We started testing eyes and for Vwd in the early 80's and followed with Cerf Hips . We currently do OFA Hips, Elbows and Eye checks and DNA testing for Vwd3, DMS, MDR1, DM, CNGA1 CEAWhere do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
