Hermosa’s experience

  • About Hermosa

    I am 26 years old, from Wheatfield, IN. I have temporarily relocated to Alabama. I am a full time healthcare worker and am currently in school to further my career. My dogs are my life, and I take my breeding very seriously.

  • What makes Hermosa’s program special

    My program is special because I am here for every individual that becomes a part of my family. I offer lifetime breeder support, and I am willing to mentor and help anyone that I possibly can. My dogs are treated with such quality and are held higher than most, and that's just not something you see too much anymore.
