Q. & A. with Shawna
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed and they have become my world. I got into showing and I have been showing dogs for 3 years. I breed for show first.
What makes your program special?
We are a small breeding program not focused on quantity but quality. Focused on show quality first and pets second. There is never an over abundance of little ones running around so they all get dedicated attention before going into there new homes.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
