Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
Breeding was not a decision we took lightly. We studied pedigrees, completed health clearances on hips, elbows, heart, eyes, and DM to find the best match possible. It has taken us ten years but we believe we made a good match with Astrid and Asher.
What makes your program special?
We don’t breed often, but when we do multiple considerations are taken. Pedigrees are reviewed and health clearances are completed.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
