Q. & A. with Kristy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I bought my first Sheltie 25 years ago and fell in love with the breed. They are the most loving, intelligent breed out there. I then started breeding and have made some lifelong friends in the process.

  • What makes your program special?

    We take much pride in caring for the mother and the puppies alike. We treat each puppy as if they will stay with us forever. This includes, but is not limited to, socialization, potty training, tactile stimulus in a loving and caring environment. We treat all puppies with the upmost care and attention to ensure the best quality pet for your family.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black white and tan, blue merle white and tan, black and white, and blue merle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
