Q. & A. with Suzanne
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal champion pedigrees, but that I am making a positive contribution to these dogs and to the humans who love them. I do a rare, carefully planned breeding about once every 5 years for waiting lists only.What makes your program special?
My quality Belgian Sheepdogs have super temperaments for service dogs, therapy dogs, protection work, and family pets! They all have herding instincts and are easily trainable. I am happy to tell you more about what life with a Belgian Sheepdog is like and how they will not only enhance your daily life but exceed your expectations!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
