Q. & A. with Denise

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began showing in conformation in 2014 studying breed standard and health requirements necessary to be a reputable breeder in the winners circle. Mentored by veteran breeders along the way. With that I see beauty in every Siberian that will never change. They are my passion.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
