Why Kathy started breeding
I fell in love with the Chessie breed as a young girl. When I got my first dog as an adult I knew I wanted to become more involved in the breed and felt I had the time and energy to produce exceptional puppies. My 20 years in the breed and my successes as a breeder keep me striving to continue to breed well rounded puppies.
