Elizabeth Reed
Meet the breeder
I'm Elizabeth R., the breeder behind Elizabeth Reed located in New Hampshire. I’m a preservation breeder, of very unique dogs, I truly fell in love with the relationships showing and performance builds. I breed with the intention of bettering the breed and creating a happy, healthy dog for you to love. I make sure to do my part so families can get the very most out of their puppy!
Q. & A. with Elizabeth
Why did you start breeding?
It began with my pet puppy, who I promised to allow the breeder to show (finish his AKC championship). They called him a Mama’s boy and I had to show him. Slowly I began to enjoy it. I started showing puppies for another breeder which led toward helping her with her puppies and having co-owned dogs in my home. This led to whelping litters myself. It all boils down to it being for the love of the dogs.What makes your program special?
The time I put into my puppies carefully exposes them to stresses and situations which can lead to reactive behavior in this breed. As they are considered a primitive breed this desensitization is of most importance during the first twelve weeks. I also offer continuous support through my puppy messenger groups which allows wonderful exchanges and support for issues before anything escalates.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
