Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
My mentor in Airedales recognized my passion for dogs and said, I will teach you! You can show dogs, you can train dogs, you can raise puppies. I never in my wildest dreams would have envisioned my life including such wonderful creatures.What makes your program special?
My heart is in each and every puppy I raise. I devote myself to thoughtful breeding and expose puppies to sights and sounds and smells and watch their personalities develop, and all are unique. All have different skillsets and interests. Matching a puppy with the right family is extremely rewarding and I enjoy helping my families grow with their dog. I raise the puppies with the Puppy Culture methods.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Boxer puppies include fawn and brindle. Airedale Terrier puppies include grizzle and tan and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
