Q. & A. with Amy
Why did you start breeding?
I co-ownes my first girl with the breeder & have grown my kennel from there. I fell in love with the breed and showing in confirmation. I believe in producing the best possible version of the breed. Temperament is a must and matching a puppy with the right owner.What makes your program special?
My dogs are treated as a part of our family. The puppies will be socialized with people of all ages, experience and enjoy 7 acres to run and play, and will come with health guarantees and open communication for the life of the dog. I have high expectations for my puppies and a detailed questionnaire. I will always take a puppy back if there is ever an issue.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
