Meet the breeder

I'm Caroleena S., the breeder behind Daisy Farm located in Nampa, ID. My dogs are breed to be for active family’s, working dog, and service dog. They have great temperaments, good with kids and smaller animals. Well socialized around people, other dogs and different animals. Most of my pups are pet only. Pups will be neutered/spayed when they reach 12 - 16 months. Some pups will be trained for shows to keep the bloodline’s going, if you want a show, or working dog cost will be higher then my pet pups for my time / cost of training them and for possible breeding in the future.

Q. & A. with Caroleena

Why did you start breeding?
I bred Working with herding and hunting dogs in Grandview, plus fostering and Vet Tech. I fell in love with what a stable dog can do for a family and for work. I didn't get into breeding for color or hype, I got into it because I wanted healthy dogs with solid temperaments that can actually work, be family dogs, and live long lives. Health testing and temperament has always been my non-negotiable. I wanted something that represents the breed and what it was ment to do but not all are ment for work and shows but they still make great companions.
