Why Melissa started breeding
My parents raised and showed Alaskan Malamutes when I was young and they also had a dog boarding kennel, which was my job growing up. When I went out on my own, I started with German Shepherds (breeding/showing), and then decided that I wanted to get back into the Malamutes. I got interested in the French Bulldog from a client at my kennel, who was trying to find homes for his puppies.
