Q. & A. with Shane
Why did you start breeding?
I am purposeful in everything I do regarding my dogs, including careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments, working drives, and conformation that are exemplary representations of the breed.
What makes your program special?
My dogs and puppies are considered members of my family, and they get the best care I can provide. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience. That includes always having responsible practices for breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. I truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
