Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
We decided to have a litter for family members. We waited two years until Willow and Finley were adult dogs. This is our first litter. We have loved the process. Willow has handled pregnancy and deliver very easily. We absolutely love this breed and this is why we chose to breed.
What makes your program special?
We care about our pets first and foremost and the health of them. We treat our pets like family members because they really are our family. We will have few litters with space between them. We genetic test so that we can continue to contribute to the breed and make it the best possible. Our pets live in our home and have a small farm to run around on and get lots of exercise.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are red merle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
