I'm Viola D., the breeder behind Epic Taylz Belgian Sheepdogs located in Alliance, OH. I breed for performance with an emphasis on good structure. Dogs from my breedings are generally more active than the average. I do everything I can to ensure the puppies have everything they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. I prioritize breeding dogs that are able to be active, loving, and fulfil the abilities they were created for.
Q. & A. with Viola
Why did you start breeding?
No one in my breed was selecting and breeding for performance. I decided to fill the role.
What makes your program special?
All of the males I breed with have advanced performance titles, and consequently, thus far I am the only breeder to have offspring from these males. I am upfront with buyers regarding any shortcomings in my stock. I am hoping to improve with breeding, as well as any health issues that arise throughout the dog's lives.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
