Q. & A. with Kristin
Why did you start breeding?
I had always wanted an Australian Shepherd and after my first one, I knew I wanted to breed her and share her
unique characteristics! It's become our passion to do our part to better the breed.
What makes your program special?
I’m a small-town breeder with a love for this breed. We offer good quality, loving pets for families to welcome into their homes. We can't wait to introduce you to your newest family member!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
