Q. & A. with Kimberly
Why did you start breeding?
I got into the show dogs with Giant Schnauzers after my beautiful horse burned in a barn fire. Now everyone lives in my house with me.
What makes your program special?
I have happy, confident dogs. Some of the puppies I have sold have many titles before and after their names, making them well rounded dogs, game for whatever their owner asks.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue and tan and grizzle and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
