Q. & A. with Marie
Why did you start breeding?
In my younger days, I was apprenticed to a wonderful breeder of top winning Irish and soft-coated Wheaten terriers. She taught me how to breed and whelp a litter. I breed with an eye for the phenotype in addition to genotype.What makes your program special?
I am very selective and only have one or two litters a year.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
