Q. & A. with Kathi
Why did you start breeding?
I bred my first FCR from England and kept the pick girl. I've had 20 litters to date.
What makes your program special?
My lines are purely British - one of two purely British breeders in the US. My dogs have done all venues including showing (I've had the number one, two and 3 FCRs in the country multiple times with multiple dogs), I've done field trials and hunt tests with my own dogs and have written a book on field. I've also bred the number ONE agility dog in the country (Granite - MACH 7 SHR STORMWATCH NOR’EASTER SH WCX CD MXJ MX MXB MJB DJ DS BN VCD1 TKA TD) Currently, I own the number 3 all systems FCR - Devon.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
