Q. & A. with Valerie
Why did you start breeding?
We did a lot of research to make sure it was right for us. We tested via Paw Print genetics and then we waited until our first dam got her grand championship certificate. Then we looked for the stud. We acquired him through our mentor who is an established breeder. We couldn’t be more pleased.
What makes your program special?
It’s very small and our dogs live in our home. When they are just a few weeks old we begin to socialize with our other adult dogs, cat, rabbit and rats. We socialize with rats because barn hunt is so big now. We think this might give them a leg up in the sport.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
