Q. & A. with DEBORAH
Why did you start breeding?
My husband trained & raised competition Reg. Coonhounds over 30 yrs. Several mo. after we got Rose, life turned completely upside down, I was dia, w/cancer! Training in our fields & creeks, Rose was thriving till 10 mo. old, then everything stopped! After 2 yrs, God healed me! We knew Rose was special, she was bred and the sire needed to be special as well! Her 1st litter, 12 pups was a blessing!What makes your program special?
Our hearts desire, is to breed and raise beautiful, strong driven in the trails/hunt fields and water, with intelligence, independence "but always with the heart to please" and to be a loving, friendly and faithful family companion & petWhat are the different breed coat colors in your program?
