Q. & A. with Lori
Why did you start breeding?
I studied in a mentorship program with other experienced breeders. Attended multiple seminars and on site hands on kennel procedures and daily operations. I purchased my foundation female Maggie F1 Aussiedoodle. She just completed her Embark Panel and OFA testing. My goal has always been to create a program that aligns with our cattle ranch and develops healthy, smart, and loving petsWhat makes your program special?
Our cattle ranch has taught me so much about breeding. I’ve been able to marry those experiences with my program to provide top quality dogs that can not only work with our herd but enjoy being part of your herd/family! When selecting our dams & sires we look for the best temperaments. Dogs that are loyal, smart, affectionate, & trainable.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include mini and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
