Q. & A. with Gwen
Why did you start breeding?
I just explained that before. It was a family project. I love seeing the excitement in the family’s eyes when they pick up their new puppy.What makes your program special?
I breed for the health of the puppy. I have learned to watch for the genetic health in collies like CEA (their eyes). Our collies are well socialized with people. My grandkids now and other friends all visit to help get puppies used to people and children.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
