Q. & A. with julie
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to start a breeding program because of our passion for these dogs. We have loved the entire process and are so glad to be able to provide other families and individuals with Pyrenean Shepherds that will bring tons of love and joy into their lives.What makes your program special?
We are diligent about health and temperament. All our dogs are fully health tested and the results are public on the OFA website. We only normally only produce one litter per year, and only when we are interested in keeping one ourselves. Our Pyr Sheps are known for outstanding temperaments and beautiful breed type.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include slate gray, gray, fawn merle, fawn, brindle, blue merle, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
