Q. & A. with Kenneth and Debra
Why did you start breeding?
As noted above, have always been a dream of mine of which I am now fulfilling. I spent 6-12 months researching the perfect dog that fit my lifestyle and my love of animals and found the Wirehaired Vizsla to be a perfect fit. I then search various breeders till I found one that matched my beliefs to obtain my first puppy. I have taken considerable time research and learning about dogs and breeding.
What makes your program special?
My passion and dedication to enhancing the quality, health and safety of the breed. Combine with my love for dogs and the rich family environment I can offer. I have 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren I have to support the care for puppies as they grow and socialize. To match puppies with the perfect families. To bring joy to others. I only believe in marketing on sites that are reputable.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
