Q. & A. with Carla
Why did you start breeding?
My interest in breeding started at an early age. I grew up on a ranch breeding Brahman cattle and when I went to college I started working and training German Shepherds and developed a love of the working German Shepherd. I studied the pedigrees and learned what lines work the best together to produce sound temperaments and structure.What makes your program special?
I believe in sound mind and body above everything else.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
