Q. & A. with Kate
Why did you start breeding?
Because of my dedication to both the physical and mental health of these incredible dogs, I breed to pass these traits down to future generations. I hope to help families find their puppies from responsible and ethical sources to build a better and safer world for our dogs.What makes your program special?
I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter, keeping in mind factors such as health, temperament, and pedigree. My goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
