Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
I regularly participate in AKC shows and started breeding to continue and improve upon my prized lines. My goal is to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that these breeds will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes your program special?
I am a premier breeder of Australian Shepherds and Border Collies. All breeding stock is extensively health and genetics tested to ensure quality puppies are being produced. My puppies also all come from a champion or grand champion lines. If you are looking for a versatile, quality family companion, look no further!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
