Q. & A. with Michelle
Why did you start breeding?
Through my mentor, the breeder from whom I purchased my first Weimaraner puppy, over 20 years ago. I breed infrequently and with much forethought. It is a hobby and NOT a means to make an income.What makes your program special?
I’ve bred multiple Champion Master Hunters, Top Ten in Show dogs, Versatile Excellent titled dogs, and one of the breed’s few BROM/FROM bitches. I love to keep in contact with my puppy owners, so if you want a puppy and no contact, I am NOT the breeder for you.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
