Q. & A. with Monica
Why did you start breeding?
I've been fascinated by genetics since college and have long wanted to breed buhunds. Now that I have amazing mentors and excellent dogs, I'm excited to bring my dreams to life.What makes your program special?
My goal is to breed and raise Buhunds who thrive in the modern world. As such, all of my dogs live their lives to the fullest with me--we hike, go to work, and visit shops, breweries, and cafes together.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
