Q. & A. with Chris & Tom

  • Why did you start breeding?

    It was a natural follow-on to showing and competing with the dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    We traveled to Europe many times to learn about the Pumi and have made good friends there who have helped us import some of the best dogs to use in our breeding program. Chris directs the pedigree program used world-wide by Pumi owners and breeders and researches the history of the breed to make sure our dogs meet the purpose for which they were intended.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white, silver gray, gray, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Parent health testing

Breeder-Reported Testing

Excellent level

Abiqua Pumik reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Pumik.

  • Hip Dysplasia

    Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
