Q. & A. with Debi
Why did you start breeding?
I decided to breed because I had a beautiful Aussie who was so loving but also loved to work, and so many people wanted a pup from her. Since I show, a lot of good homes for active dogs come easy, and we have enjoyed breeding, placing, and watching our pups shine and live long, happy, active lives in their forever homes.What makes your program special?
We do health testing, and we have trained and socialized our pups with Puppy Culture since before it had a name. We always have a waitlist for our puppies, and we strive to place them in the best homes possible. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
