Q. & A. with Thomas and Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
When I got Sophie (my foundation girl), I was tickled to death to finally get a Border Terrier. I had wanted one for years and just wanted a show dog. I was listening to a podcast called Pure Dog Talk and they were speaking about how if younger people do not step up and begin breeding, some of these breeds we love will be gone. We have begun to grow from there.What makes your program special?
I believe the heart behind my program is what makes it special. Every puppy has a piece of me in them. The time, effort, planning, and love that goes into each one is notable.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
