Q. & A. with Sheila
Why did you start breeding?
Since 2000 we have bred Affenpinschers that are world-class champions and sought after as show dogs and pets. Prior to that we owned, bred, and showed Dalmatians starting in 1971. Active at both the local and national level in both breeds, our commitment has always been to produce happy, healthy canine companions.What makes your program special?
At Coachlight Kennels we produce excellent companions. We understand the importance of dog health, temperament, and structure, and every breeding decision is made accordingly. Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be wonderful family companions.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
