Q. & A. with Mary
Why did you start breeding?
I have bred and shown my dogs and horses for many years, although I have retired from the show ring in recent years. Now I breed for others to show.What makes your program special?
My dogs are raised in my home with great care and love for each one. I make sure that each of my dogs has optimal nutrition at all times and that the puppies are fed proper protein diets to reach their full potential. They run and play all day on green acres and then come in and sleep on their big pillows. The puppies are raised in my home and are socialized by being with us at all times. This ensures that you receive a healthy puppy and that the breed stays strong.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are rd whtn blk nose. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
