Q. & A. with Kathryn
Why did you start breeding?
In our program, we focus on breeding excellence. Our dogs regularly compete in the show ring and are proven champions. Puppies are bred for health, temperament, and to meet conformation standards. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions.
What makes your program special?
We are professional handlers of Basenjis. We do not breed our dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. We are dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training our pups and we strive to breed healthy, quality pups that can fit any lifestyle. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
