Q. & A. with Dale
Why did you start breeding?
I have always wanted to breed Border Collies. My female Jobi is such a fantastic dog, I had to breed her to have one of her offspring.What makes your program special?
The attention that the puppies receive from me and my wife is an important factor in the development of their good dispositions. We strive to produce a well-balanced intelligent dog.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
