Q. & A. with Courtney

Why did you start breeding?
My family has owned and raised heelers all my life. I got into breeding after loosing my child hood dog when I was 19 years old, I couldn’t believe how hard it was to find a healthy, well rounded heeler in Oregon, once I found my male I just knew he was going to be a start of something.
What makes your program special?
The 1 thing that really set us up with success was our dogs are family if U ever have the opportunity to get a pup from us U are now part of my family. We don’t just say that we MEAN it! I can’t tell U how many times I have sent prayers over grieving owners after a lost family member & just true kindness. I truly believe god has sent bandit to contact me with all these amazing familes 4 a reason.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
