Q. & A. with Bridgette
Why did you start breeding?
To ensure the future of the German Shepherd breed, it's crucial to focus on three key points: health and genetics, responsible breeding practices, and the preservation of breed standard, and this is my priority.
What makes your program special?
“Breeders have a responsibility to prioritize the well-being and welfare of the dogs they bring into the world. It’s not just about producing puppies; it’s about raising happy, healthy, and well-socialized companions.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
