Q. & A. with Margo
Why did you start breeding?
No one would sell us their best puppy in a litter unless it was a co-own. So we knew we had to start our own breeding program. The very first litter we had produced the # 4 puppy. And from there we were up and running as a small breeder and just kept getting better. And thanks to a lot of good people who helped us along the way.
What makes your program special?
Because it has never been about money or will never be. I put a lot of thought into who we breed to, and have been blessed not to have ever lost a dog due to health issues.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
