Q. & A. with Keith
Why did you start breeding?
My service dog was getting older and I wanted to pass along his genes to increase the chances of getting another close to his capabilities.
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.
