Q. & A. with Bethany

  • Why did you start breeding?

    From a young age, I had a desire for purebred dogs. I was subscribed to every dog fancy magazine and worked at local canine sporting events meeting many breeds. I became a registered veterinary technician in 2014. I assisted in whelping and raising many litters. I have learned so much and shaped a program that involves a lot of research in creating an intelligent and versatile active companion.
  • What makes your program special?

    At Sanguine Moon, we believe in the heart of the hunter. GSPs are such a versatile breed in their abilities to work. Our dogs are personable, class clowns, who mean business when it comes time to go to work at any job asked of them. We believe in matching the puppy to the family. We believe this offers the most success and pleasure to your family and the puppy!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver roan, liver and white, and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
