Q. & A. with Kimberly
Why did you start breeding?
In 2000 I began teaching rally and giving seminars on rally obedience. I incorporated rally signs into all of my classes, from puppy to competition, immediately. My love for competing with my dogs encouraged a love of breeding.
What makes your program special?
My Windsprites compete in different venues and shows and are always meet the breed standard. I breed infrequently, and first and foremost my dogs are my family members.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
