Why did you start breeding?

+4I had a wonderful time and felt very welcomed and comfortable throughout the entire process. All my questions were answered, and I could observe how well the puppies were taken care of. Knowing that such a loving family was raising well-behaved puppies gave me peace of mind.

Larry and his wife was very responsive and very knowledgeable about the breed. I have grew up with Australian Shepard's before so I knew quite a bit of the breed. They stayed in touch and gave me updates on my family's puppy. Good dog made the process easier and painless. I'm glad that I was able to find Larry and his wife through good dog. They are wonderful people! I'm glad that we got our puppy Maverick from them!

We had a great experience working with Larry and Lynn to choose the perfect puppy for us. Charlie has been the perfect addition to our family. We have enjoyed keeping in contact with them sharing how Charlie how grown into a handsome sweet boy just like his sire. We would definitely consider another pup from them in the future.
