Q. & A. with Bren
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved dogs and have always been interested in breeding. Upon much research about different breeders of different breeds, I found that there are a LOT out there that could be better. I want to help buyers have more options for a well-bred and well-socialized pup.
What makes your program special?
I strongly believe in the proper handling and early socializing of growing puppies, as it helps create a well-rounded dog from the very beginning. I refuse to breed for fancy colors or “mini” Heelers. All of our puppies are born, raised, and loved indoors (with lots of outside time) to produce happy, healthy pets who are great companions for individuals and families alike.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Wisdom Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 4 (rcd4), Full Embark Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
