Q. & A. with Sherri
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It's an amazing feeling knowing that I made a positive contribution to these dogs and the families who love them.What makes your program special?
I am a strong and passionate advocate of proper breeding practices and run my program accordingly. My priority is quality over quantity, and every breeding decision is made with this in mind.
