Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
I had my own Bearded Collie and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. I am devoted to ensuring there are well-bred Bearded Collies for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.What makes your program special?
I truly love the Bearded Collie and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I know the health and status of every dog I have bred and am proud of the temperament and conformation of my puppies. I do everything I can to ensure my puppies have what they need to develop into healthy and happy dogs. It would be my pleasure to introduce your family to your next Bearded Collie!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
