Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.
What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
