Q. & A. with Meghan
Why did you start breeding?
Reproduction has always been an interest to both my husband and me. Before breeding puppies, we started with breeding piglets!
What makes your program special?
Pups had early neurologic stimulation, veterinary examinations, deworming, socialization with kids and animals, and will be current on vaccinations. They can be AKC registered and new owner will retain breeding rights.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black & white, blue merle, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Meghan responded quickly, she was was willing to meet at a location closer to my home. The Australian shepherd puppy I bought "Benny" is calm, smart, and healthy. Its obvious that this puppy did not experience any trauma and was loved!. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience and my new puppy!
Thank you
