Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
I got into breeding over 10 years ago with English Mastiffs. We had champion show dogs. But as life is we are getting older and the big dogs are hard to handle when you have more than a couple. So we went with our other favorite the frenchie! All personality in small compact bodies. They are great family dogs and they keep us so entertained!
What makes your program special?
We Health test our dogs. Not just at the vet.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
