Q. & A. with Erica
Why did you start breeding?
I have a fantastic stud dog and I have traded stud fees for puppies. I also live on a horse farm and breed horses.What makes your program special?
My dogs are not only AKC champions but also working ranch dogs. Our puppies are born and raised in our house and are exposed to every type of stimulation we can find. All of our dogs have their health results on OFA.Where do your breeding dogs live?
