Q. & A. with Michael & Dr. Wenny
Why did you start breeding?
Both very competitive in our engineering career, we decided to learn and practice breeding because of our love and passion for the breed and the sport.
What makes your program special?
Our breeding program is built upon an outstanding foundation of a worldwide top winning male, and three excellent females all from world-renowned breeders. With an extensive study on the pedigrees and a solid understanding of the strength/faults of the sire and dam, we have a clear purpose in mind for each breeding that takes place here. Only the excellent will be selected to further our breeding program.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
