Q. & A. with Dawn
Why did you start breeding?
Our Westie breeding program goal is to produce quality working dogs with sound structure & sound minds. Our dogs are contenders in the show ring, while retaining all those much desired working qualities.What makes your program special?
Adopting puppies from us is not a quick process; it's a lot like adopting a child. We require families to do at least two interviews before we make a decision, because it is important to us to ensure that the people and puppy are the perfect fit for each other.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
