WRC Farms
Meet the breeder
I'm William C., the breeder behind WRC Farms located in Arden, NC. I'm a casual breeder. This isn't something I do often but I now have puppies. I'd rather be training working dogs than dealing with puppies. This is my first litter of puppies in 4 years. I only have ABCA dogs and have DNA tested the parents. I'm a working dog trainer on the weekends.
Q. & A. with William
Why did you start breeding?
I haven't had a litter of puppies in 4 years. These are a oops, I forgot to put dogs in crates.What makes your program special?
My dogs are ABCA registered and CEA clear. All parents work stock and grand-parents too. These should be good workers.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies include smooth and rough coat varieties. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are slate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
