Q. & A. with Kerry
Why did you start breeding?
As a responsible breeder, I understand the very important role that breeders undertake; that being today's breeders are the guardians of the future well-being of the Long-Coated Retriever. I strive to not only produce beautiful puppies and continue my show line, but to help promote responsible breeding in order to ensure that the Long-Coated Retriever will continue to thrive for generations to come.
What makes your program special?
I am a proud breeder of Long Coated Retrievers and am so excited to share my love of them with the world. My involvement in the show world and with the AKC speaks to the standard that I breed my dogs by. My dogs are exceptionally healthy, have great temperaments, fantastic conformation, and are overly-loved. I am dedicated to continuing my phenomenal bloodlines in an effort to provide families with loving, healthy, and happy puppies.
