Q. & A. with Heather
Why did you start breeding?
I always had a passion for dogs and wanted to breed for many years, once my youngest started school and I felt like I had a little more time I started putting together my program.What makes your program special?
I breed because I love it! I love to follow up with my families and watch the puppies grow as the families grow. Last year I fought and beat breast cancer and my puppies brought me a lot of joy through that dark time.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
