Why did you start breeding?

My goal in breeding is to always improve on the previous generation while keeping with type.What makes your program special?
I am very focused on keeping good temperaments and trainability with my puppies while still keeping form and function. I pride myself on titling my dogs in both performance and conformation venues. All my puppies are raised on Puppy Culture protocol and already will have a basic foundation started.Where do your breeding dogs live?
