I'm Sharon R., the breeder behind Seven Bends Giants located in Woodstock, VA. I am a new breeder and I am enjoying this wonderful experience .I am planning on breeding one of my females annually. I have some really great pups; some fluffy curly, several pepper salt but most were course straight hair.
Q. & A. with Sharon
Why did you start breeding?
I love this breed; I have had such a positive experience with Bubu that I wanted to share this experience with others. I enjoy learning all about breeding, finding a good mate for Bubu, and just having the experience delivering and caring for pups and mom. It is very hard but very rewarding. I lost 12 pounds chasing and herding a large litter of pups. What a trip.We are breeding Joe and Zoey
What makes your program special?
Well, our breeding program is focused on the best pup for each family. Our adult dogs live in our home we are very hands-on with our dogs and pups. We had some go for police work, several to military personnel but most to families with kids. All pups are intact with original families and seemed to be doing well. When our pups went to their homes they went with the promise of our support.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
