Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to better the breed and find a stud that was clear in all genetics testing and have a great disposition and pedigree. We decided to go with a repeat breeding using the boy that fathered my litter in 2022. 3 weeks ago we had a beautiful litter of 6 Blue merles!What makes your program special?
All my dogs are genetically and ofa tested. Mom has clear genetics except carries mdr1. Dad is also has clear genetics and ofa tested. Dad earned his Championship last year.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
