Q. & A. with Katie
Why did you start breeding?
We are a Marine Corps family, and I even grew up in a Marine Corps family. Both of my parents were officers and from a small age I was always obsessed with the English bulldog. it had been my dream to own one, and when I finally made that dream come true, I was over the moon. A few years later I met and amazing woman who mentored me through every step of the breeding process.What makes your program special?
We never match a dam and sire without DNA testing to make sure we are breeding puppies with the most optimal health possible, and I provide a 12 month health guarantee.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
