Q. & A. with Connie
Why did you start breeding?
My Hubby, Duane Davis brought our 1st AUSSIE, Miss SADIE as a puppy when he came into my life, after losing my Hubby, RICHARD KING, in January of 2014. I started by breeding our Miss SADIE for our ITRA Horseback-riding friends that we camped with, as they saw what a gem she is when we camped. GOD knew I needed the love & joy my AUSSIES bring into my life after the loss of Richard!!! 💞❤💞
What makes your program special?
I use my A.I. cattle breeding knowledge to breed my AUSSIES. 💞
We are truly blessed on many ways!!! Thank you, Lord, for watching over me. . . & taking my puppies where you see the need for them to go. . . taking my love & joy with them. . . 💞❤💞 It is a Journey that I so enjoy watching play out. . . knowing YOUR hand is in it!!! ❤🙏❤ You are truly amazing. . . & my grief & heart is healing.
