Q. & A. with Marsha
Why did you start breeding?
After I acquired my first Kai Ken I decided I want to learn to show conformation and then decided to learn all I could about breeding in order to help this rare primitive Kai Ken breed. We grew up breeding and raising horses sonething I always loved sso it just kind of came naturally.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Hokkaido puppies include brindle, white, sesame, red, and black and tan. Kai Ken puppies include red brindle, brindle, and black brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
