Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
I started showing English Cocker Spaniels in 1996. Over the years, it was the natural progression to leave my own fingerprints on the breed. I now have whippets as well.What makes your program special?
I compete in a lot of different areas with my dogs to show off their versatility, adaptability and conformation to the breed standard. I do all health testing required for CHIC and additional testing if it is available. I then spend hours for a year or more pouring over pedigrees until I find the right match. I breed for quality and preservation of the breeds.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our English Cocker Spaniel puppies are blue roan. Whippet puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
