Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
My parents bred dogs throughout my childhood and passed down a family tradition of dog breeding, training, owning, and loving all breeds of dogs. I am devoted to ensuring there are happy and healthy Toy Australian Shepherds for others to enjoy, and I do so by responsibly growing this incredible breed.What makes your program special?
The health and temperament of my puppies are my number one priority and I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I pride myself on helping all of my clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
