Q. & A. with Kathy J
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted my retirement to be something that involved my passion, dogs. I started with the plan to have a dog retreat (not a kennel) and was looking online for information. I came upon a breeder named Jeanette Forrey and I ordered her book. It was so inspiring what she has accomplished and is accomplishing for the betterment of dogs/puppies I wanted to be part of that, to share the love of a dog!What makes your program special?
I follow all the updated protocols and procedures recommended by the leaders in the field. My puppies are raised in my home with their mom and me. I start from day 3 giving them stimulation and curriculum so that they are well equipped to go to their new homes. I offer a lifelong resource for my clients, sharing with them my knowledge for any challenges they may encounter.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are cream. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
