Q. & A. with Jennie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love for well-bred sporting dogs led me to connect with experienced mentors and truly understand the importance of health testing, structure, temperament, and purposeful breeding. After years of involvement, training, showing, and learning, I began my own small program built on those same values.
  • What makes your program special?

    I focus on quality over quantity, prioritizing health, genetic diversity, and exceptional temperament. My puppies come from fully health-tested, titled parents and are raised with early neurological stimulation, socialization, and exposure to home life. I’m committed to lifetime support for every family I place a puppy with.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Dalmatian puppies are white and black. Vizsla puppies are golden rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
