Q. & A. with Trish

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the breed and acquired two outstanding dogs whose temperament and genetics I wanted to share with others. I look for the healthiest and best temperament dogs to add to my program.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
