Q. & A. with Dianne
Why did you start breeding?
My husband has always had hunting dogs and his family as well. His companion dog was named TJ, an Australian Shepherd. He was so well trained and smart. I loved the breed and wanted to have some puppies by him. We found a couple of Australian Shepherds females in Tenn., from there we moved on into the breeding business.What makes your program special?
The love and care that we put into each dog, and the good reports we get from people that have adopted our puppies makes our breeding program very special.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Cavapoo puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Australian Shepherd puppies include black & white, red merle, and blue merle. Cavapoo puppies include tri-color, red, black and white, and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
