Q. & A. with Carolyn
Why did you start breeding?
I had great breed mentors that I assisted in handling in the '70s and '80s. I actually bred Guinea pigs while a young teen, keeping pedigrees and developing a short-haired variety with a single Abyssinian head swirl. I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I wanted to give back to the breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes. I have always been invested in the well-being of animals. I wanted to give back to the Belgian Malinois breed by producing healthy pups and placing them into loving homes.
What makes your program special?
I have more ROM (Register of Merit) dogs than any other breeder as well as the breeder or owner of the sire of 5 of the breed's 7 Triple champions. I also have more dual champions than any other breeder and always ensure health clearances. My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards that I breed my dogs by. I will always stand behind my puppies. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
