Q. & A. with Dixie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got my first dog from the shelter and was impressed. So I bought a puppy and started researching the breed. I learned about the genic testing, showing, and training. Found a mentor and stared training her dogs and learned to show and bred a couple of litters with her help.

  • What makes your program special?

    When i breed my dogs they are tested. They are genetic tested and temperament tested. If they don't have a good temperament it is a waste of time. In my opinion. I want to produce dogs i love and want to spend my time with and genetically sound as possible. And i want that for my puppy buyers too.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
