Q. & A. with Johnny & Carol
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to be involved with the preservation of the breed.What makes your program special?
Our animals are treated with respect and boundaries. The tail doesn’t wag the dog. We offer our dogs care and demand obedience. When we enter a venture, we study and apply principles and just generally seek the applied knowledge of those that have a good track record.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
