Why Carms started breeding
I started showing as a Junior handler at 15 for fun and then when I turned 17 I started mentoring other juniors and peewees to show and handle, I am very passion about preserving my breeds and the lines ( I work with some known names in the breeds I have but I like to preserve old kennel names that have proper structure and temperment the best. It’s all about making sure the dog is healthy for me.
