Q. & A. with Bethany
Why did you start breeding?
I married and moved to the suburbs and still needed an animal outlet. Once we felt ready for our first dog as a couple, we decided to find a good quality pup that we could breed and raise great family pups.
I fell in love with Golden Aussies, a mixed breed, and we found the perfect Aussie girl to get started with and an AKC Golden Retriever Breeder has been kind enough to let us use her stud.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
