Q. & A. with Shelia
Why did you start breeding?
I have been an animal lover since I was a child. I started out with a few exotic animals as pets and then started breeding. I think dogs have always been my favorite pet so I decided to focus solely on dogs. My fiancé came on board with me! I have read, studied, watched videos and ask tons of questions. There aren’t many things more enjoyable than being able to produce pups that are going to make a family or individual happy for a dogs lifetime.What makes your program special?
We are a small scale breeder. We care about the health and well being of our dogs as well as our pups. We never overbreed or mass produce. We want to be able to interact and spend quality time with our litters. We want each transaction to be a success and not just a sale.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
