Q. & A. with Sherry
Why did you start breeding?
I was born into a family that showed and bred dogs.What makes your program special?
I only breed a litter when I want one. I take it very seriously and have researched this breed for many, many years. I only breed a litter when I have a top quality finished champion that is fully health tested. I have bred many top winning show dogs and have pleased many families with companion dogs. This is what makes life important to me.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
