Q. & A. with Barbara
Why did you start breeding?
Because of my dedication to both the physical and mental health of these incredible dogs, I breed to pass these traits down to future generations. I dearly love this breed and am proud to be doing my part as an ethical program!
What makes your program special?
I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. All of my dogs are loved as family members first and foremost, and I cherish them from the moment of birth up until they leave my arms to snuggle up into yours!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
