Q. & A. with Sue
Why did you start breeding?
I threw myself into learning about this breed and knew from the beginning that I wanted to do it the right way. I am grateful for the mentorship of other breeders and my Veterinarian for their support. Bertie encompasses the most distinguishing characteristics of the breed her easy-going nature and temperament are equally evident in her puppies. I am very proud of the program I have developed.
What makes your program special?
We take responsible breeding very seriously. We work every day to improve what we are doing, learn from every litter and every new puppy, and focus on the great future we are growing. Our puppies are raised by our family for your family. You can be confident in the kind of dog you are getting, based on many generations of the same excellent breed representation and temperament.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
