Q. & A. with Sherry
Why did you start breeding?
My dad bred Weimaraner & German Shorthaired pups when I was a kid. I loved being around the puppies but the best was something I noticed even as a child. I noticed that every time someone or a family came to pick out their new puppy when they left they were always super happy. I realized it was because of our breeding we were making these families happy because they found their new best friend.
What makes your program special?
We have always strived to be great breeders. We give a 3-year warranty against major genetic issues. Also, we have lifetime breeder support. You can call us anytime to ask any questions about your puppy/dog for the life of your dog. Another thing, we have a lifetime bring back policy, if for any reason you can't keep your dog we will take it back here. We never want one of our pups in a shelter.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
