Q. & A. with Cheyenne
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve researched breeding since I was about 15. The first litter I whelped was from a shelter. Watching the puppies take their first breath to seeing them walk and play brings me so much happiness.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
