Meet the breeder
I'm Sarah Q., the breeder behind Moormont Kennels located in Yucaipa, CA. Our dogs are first and foremost our companions and are treated as such, residing in our home with us. All of our dogs are active workers in real world environments and compete in a multitude of different canine sports during the off seasons. Our dogs also have completed all recommended health testing before breeding.
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding with a mentor/friend in Belgian Shepherd dogs, owning co-owned dogs and assisting with the rearing of puppies.What makes your program special?
Our program is special because all of the dogs in our house (not just our breeding program) have sports titles and are our pets. The focus on stability in temperament while maintaining drive is our biggest goal.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Sarah
Sarah has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Sarah partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 7 weeks old.
“We place dogs and puppies based off of temperament, personality and compatibility with the applicants to ensure a good match. We do consider gender and color preferences as we can, but believe the right dog is never the wrong color.”
Price
“Pricing include tail docking, microchip, starter vaccinations, worming, embark testing, and registrations. Puppies come with UKC and PTCA registration paperwork. Puppies are selected for potential owners by breeder based on personality and drives. Puppies are evaluated for placement and no announcements are made for placements until 7-9 weeks of age.”

Sarah may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy.
