Q. & A. with Hannah
Why did you start breeding?
I started working at a kennel in 14' where the owner showed and raised Borders. I met and fell in love with a 3 yr old female named Wiccan. I became her co-owner and handler at shows and started doing Earthdog and agility with her. In 2015 she whelped a sinlgeton girl named Pebbles(Pebbles was given to me). In 2017 she whelped her last litter of 3 females for her breeder and was signed over to me.What makes your program special?
My goal is to set the puppies up for success I want my pups to have an outstanding foundation for their new owners to build upon. I have an obligation to that puppy for its entire life and will always welcome them back. When placing puppies many things are considered, and I strive to place the correct puppy in the correct home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue and tan and grizzle and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
