I'm the breeder behind Abiega Great Pyrenees located in Spruce Pine, NC. Our high-quality puppies are the result of extensive research and thorough care for our outstanding dogs and puppies. We’re careful to breed and raise our pups with only the best policies. The quality of our dogs reflects the conscious decisions we make throughout every part of the breeding process. We will always take a dog back at any point in its life for any reason. We never want to see any of our dogs ending up in shelters or without a home.
Q. & A. with Eric
Why did you start breeding?
We are fairly new to breeding dogs but we are following sound breeding techniques and using our background in genetics and animal health to make the best breeding decisions possible.
What makes your program special?
Our dogs are very versatile. They're great companions but they can be great guardian dogs as well. We are unique in that we provide versatile dogs from parents that are health tested and titled.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
