Q. & A. with Catherine
Why did you start breeding?
I knew at an early age that I would someday like to breed dogs, but education and family would come first. My modus operandi towards any venture has always been to educate myself before stepping in.What makes your program special?
It reflects who I am and what's important to me. I value the relationships that people have with their dogs. I search for new information on how to keep dogs living longer. The qualities of Rhodesian Ridgebacks that I cherish are not suitable for everyone, so I work with prospective owners to help them sort that out.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are wheaten blk nose. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
