Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
Raised in a family that bred and showed Samoyeds. My brother got a rescued Australian Cattle Dog and I instantly fell in love with the breed. I loved the go go go attitude the loyalty and the look. So of course I got my own rescued Cattle Dog. I was missing the show ring so in 2002 I got my first well bred show girl and from that day forward I knew I would eventually have my own litter.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue speckled and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
