We actively show our dogs in numerous canine competitions.
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding dogs started also at a very young age around 10 years old. My very first litter of my own was Labradors, followed by German Shepherds then Flat-Coated Retrievers. Raising quality healthy puppies was always a passion of mine. As and adult, my main focus took direction into the conformation ring of primarily Alaskan Malamutes, Flat-Coated Retrievers and English Pointers.
What makes your program special?
Great care is taken in choosing the best-matched parents of great temperament, breed type, & health. We choose homes that best fit our breeds, our dogs, & us as your breeder. We have a vast knowledge of dogs in all areas; advanced training, dog behavior, dog sports, canine health & canine structure. Our dogs compete and train in almost every sport that they enjoy. We have 1000s of titles to date
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog puppies include blue white and tan and black, white and red. Nederlandse Kooikerhondje puppies are white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
