Q. & A. with Miley
Why did you start breeding?
As of right now, I do not have any personal breedings planned for the near future (3-5 years).What makes your program special?
I focus on health, workability, temperament and structure of my dogs. These 4 things are my priority for any future pairings. I actively trial and compete with my dogs, even in sports “they shouldn’t be good at”, this takes clear-minded, driven dogs to do so.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have rough coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
