Q. & A. with Amanda
Why did you start breeding?
We fell in love with the breed after we purchased our first GS baby. We took years researching and talking to other breeders before deciding this was the path for us.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are raised in home with us right under our feet. They are involved in all of our adventures including going to the baseball field to watch our young ones play and to our cabin in the woods. They are bred to be the perfect family dog. Loyal, well tempered, and healthy. It has been an amazing adventure raising these dogs and being able to provide this joy to others is one of the best parts.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
