Q. & A. with Doreen
Why did you start breeding?
I’ve always wanted to breed Airedales and finally had time to devote to doing it right with lots of room for dogs on our mini-farm! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are given the best start with good nutrition and lots of love. We play with them, hold them, and spoil them until they leave. They get good vet care from the very start! Our vet has even called them “stunning”!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
