Q. & A. with Valerie
Why did you start breeding?
I got into Danes and showing. That has been my first love. Breeding comes second to exhibiting my Danes. I believe with continued education, routine exhibition and regular health testing the best pups can be produced that display the correct conformation, the ability to do the task for which they were originally bred, health that adds to good longevity, and a temperament that makes them not only easy to live with but reliable in unexpected situations.What makes your program special?
My dogs are an integral part of my family and daily life. This creates the ideal environment for puppies. From birth, they grow in a secure, loving environment where they know that they matter to their family -- that they have a purpose. I love what I do, and I'm so excited to connect with you!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include brindle, fawn, and harlequin. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
