Q. & A. with Kathy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I fell in love with the Chessie breed as a young girl. When I got my first dog as an adult I knew I wanted to become more involved in the breed and felt I had the time and energy to produce exceptional puppies. My 20 years in the breed and my successes as a breeder keep me striving to continue to breed well rounded puppies.
  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on breeding dogs with excellent temperaments and health. I enjoy producing puppies that excel in a wide range of activities but are also excellent family members. I use several proven methods of puppy rearing which make pups fearless and ready to take on the next stage of their lives once they leave my house. Please email me directly instead of through Good Dog WhiskeyCreekCBR@icloud.com
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
