Q. & A. with Shilo
Why did you start breeding?
22 years ago I had my first litter. After that litter kids and life got in the way and so ended my one time stent of puppies. Now I breed to carry on my line with the hopes of bettering the breed with each generation.What makes your program special?
We focus on the betterment of the breed & our line. Everyone is raised in our home, loved on & handled daily. The first two weeks we rotate shifts sitting with mom 24 hrs a day to help her & make sure all the babies are well tended. Puppies do not leave until at least 10 weeks. We become like extended family to our new puppy parents when the pups leave for their new homes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include mahogany and white, red and white, and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
