Marquise Miniature American Shepherd
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristin G., the breeder behind Marquise Miniature American Shepherd located in Stone Lake, WI. I am very active in the conformation show world. Right now, I am branching out into other areas of training. I love what I do. My dogs are my priority and I take great pride in making sure I am breeding them to their fullest potential. My dogs are smart, loyal and loving companions.
Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted to breed my own beautiful line of dogs from start to finish. I always had a goal to do this. Life proved to become too busy to pursue such a time consuming hobby. When things settled down, then it was time to resume my love of showing and the next step, breeding.What makes your program special?
I am a small program which allows me to give each dog and puppy all of my love and attention. They live in the house with mu husband and I, and are considered part of the "family".What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, and blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
