Q. & A. with Catherine
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! I love this breed and have weaved that respect into every aspect of my program.
What makes your program special?
I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are salt and pepper. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
