I'm the breeder behind Dry Creek Doodles located in Salem, KY. This will be my last litter of exceptional puppies, if I do say so myself! Due to health issues I will not have the time to devote to them. I will definitely miss having puppies in the house.
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
I showed my Australian Cattle dogs in obedience and even put a Schutzhund title on my bitch. My love of dogs has always been a large part of me.
What makes your program special?
I have done my research for my puppies. Puppy Culture and Avidog are going to be the backbone of my program. Plus the help I get from the Facebook groups that I belong to. My breeding dogs have all been health tested and passed through Embark Vet.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are chocolate. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
