Q. & A. with Deborah
Why did you start breeding?
I work with a wonderful mentor and am passionate about growing this wonderful breed in a responsible way. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others. I look forward to connecting with you!What makes your program special?
My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. My ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. As a breeder, I feel a sense of responsibility to prioritize the overall health and temperament of each of my puppies and to ensure that they are loved and well cared for before joining their forever homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
