Q. & A. with Christy
Why did you start breeding?
I realized quickly my love for the breed and that I wanted to make a difference. It has been very important to me to produce sound healthy dogs with a goal of trying to better the breed with each breeding. I have had some of the best mentors in our breed to help me and guide me on this!What makes your program special?
I feel that my breeding program is special for many ways. I have some of the best mentors in the breed and I am striving for the betterment at all times. My first litter was in 2020, producing “Ripley”, she was BOS at the National in 2022. I have produced multiple champions, and dogs competing in several different sports. But most important, I feel my dogs are loving pets and great family members.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver roan, liver and white, and white and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
