Q. & A. with Sonny
Why did you start breeding?
When I bought my first show dog in 1985, I was mentored by a long-time, successful breeder and AKC judge. She guided me in making good decisions in breeding and selection of breeding stock.What makes your program special?
I breed primarily for AKC show and performance homes. My buyers' dogs are routinely nationally ranked in obedience and agility. My puppies are raised in a learning-rich environment, designed to build confidence, physical coordination, and learning.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
