Q. & A. with Lisa

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Studied the breed over 26 plus years . Worked for vets and groomers . Found it the best all around breed for me not for everyone . I got into breeding by wanting to see the best and most sound dogs exhibited . I spend a lot of time studying pedigrees . As well as traveling the world to meet other am staffs and enthusiasts . I find it most important to have a great mind on a dog than win ribbons . The dogs in our home are what we keep for their lives . They don’t get sent out to kennels to live and be bred . They are to be number one family pets . Competition is secondary to us . We take pride in our dogs . We have had dogs on television , you tube videos and at the state capitol fighting for breed specific legislation . The dogs are our whole lives and make our lives whole .
  • What makes your program special?

    I’m a complete hobby breeder. I don’t hardly breed . When I do it’s for the better of the breed . To emphasize the best characteristics. Quality over quantity .
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
