I'm April H., the breeder behind LiquidMoon English Shepherds located in Mc Kee, KY. We breed for health and temperament with a focus on intelligence and work ability. We strive to provide families with a well balanced, multipurpose, and loving companion. Our dogs are raised in our home and work on our farm. They have all had DNA and hips tested. We do not operate a kennel.
Q. & A. with April
Why did you start breeding?
I was looking for a multipurpose dog that could do anything I asked to help with farm and family work. I found English Shepherds to be perfect. I fell in love with the breed and want to give others the opportunity of falling in love with this breed as well.
What makes your program special?
We implement puppy raising practices from programs that work; such as the Avidog. Because our breed is diverse, we take great care to place puppies by temperament and ability over looks. We concentrate on setting up our puppy owners for success with a well adjusted, stable pup, and our puppies with a lifelong loving home and career. Please visit our website for more.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
