Q. & A. with Heather

• Why did you start breeding?

  Twenty years ago my young family brought home our first puppy from a pet store not knowing better. After a few months his temperament changed, and he turned into something we feared. With dominance training not helping we had to make a heartbreaking decision. Yet again we went to a pet store to find our next family member. Life was great until one day her uterus prolapsed and I immediately rushed her to the vet. Over a grand later our baby was home, but after a few days she seemed off. I rushed her into the ER vet with her trotting next to me. Xrays came back black so we redid them, but sadly the reason was due to severe infection. By then two hours had past and she could no longer get off the ground or hold her head up. I went into the ER to save her life, but ended up only leaving with her collar and a hefty bill. After Dani passed away, a vet talked about genetics and aggression. We were angry, hurt, and saddened for our fur-babies and what we went through emotionally and financially. We set out to make a difference and so began our journey.
