Q. & A. with John
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding Shelties started over 40 years ago as a childhood hobby. We've been blessed to continue over 40 years, striving to better the breed.What makes your program special?
Our puppies are very well socialized and transition to their new family very well. We will maintain communication with a puppy's family, to offer support for a lifetime. We raised our dogs and puppies inside the home, and they are with us 24/7. They have a large fenced in area to run outside. Our fence is 120' x 70', within the kennel they are provided with fresh water, and a building to go in.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
