Q. & A. with Sunshine
Why did you start breeding?
When I was 18, I was given my own dog to produce a litter with. After all health testing, we moved forward and I've continued on to this day. 23 years later, I breed dogs who can do anything!What makes your program special?
We work hard to produce dogs that are capable of service dog work, obedience and rally training, and are beautiful and can win in a conformation ring as well. It's more than breeding a pretty face!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
