Why Kimberly started breeding
I have been trying to get a program started for the last 15 years. My first girl got Lyme disease and had health problems and I chose not to breed. We shared our lives together for 13 years. I got my second female 3 years ago. She would not accept the male I picked out for her. I purchased a quality male and will try again when she comes into heat. I have a breeder helping me get started!
