Bobbie’s experience

  • About Bobbie

    In the 1990s, I was a dog breeder of Cocker Spaniels and Alaskan Malamutes and a professional groomer. One day I was working on a grooming appointment for an employee of a large cable communications company and was offered a job. After 20 years working a corporate job, I realized how much I missed working with dogs and realized the growing need for quality dogs for the home and workplace alike.

  • What makes Bobbie’s program special

    The GSD have been our passion for several years we have produced several service dogs from our breedings with the help of PAWS K9 in Colorado. We are moving to the awesome rare breed Yakutian Laika. They are a great diverse breed and was used for sledding, herding, protection and family dog. They are very biddable for a Northern breed.
