Q. & A. with Toni
Why did you start breeding?
We have had Aussies since the early 90s. We raised horses for about 20 years. We worked to improve on each generation. When we decided to sell the last of our horses, we wanted to concentrate on the dogs. Working toward well bred, healthy dogs with temperments and personalities that will be an asset to any activities they might be involved in.What makes your program special?
I would say every breeder has a special program, since we each bring personal goals and expectations into our plans. We look at temperment first. We started with very well bred stock, so we fine tune for personalities, and breeding for the kind of puppies that will fit in almost any household and for any dog sports or activities.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
