Q. & A. with Suzette
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the breed on a trip to Europe (Moldova) where my husband was born and introduced me to them. I waited 7 years before importing my first pup as I realized it was hard to find any in the US that fit my standards of what the breed truly is. From there I decided to help the breed flourish by creating a breeding program with dogs befitting to European standards.
What makes your program special?
Central Asian Shepherd is an umbrella term that covers many breeds in Central Asia. Our kennel specializes in Tobet, Alabai, and Aboriginal lines under that umbrella. The very rare and ancient lines of Tobet carry the black/tan/white (tri-color) gene that most of our dogs present. Although we love the color....what comes first is conformation, health, temperament, and working ability. THEN color.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
