Meet the breeder
I'm Julia B., the breeder behind Compass Rose Catahoulas located in Clinton, MI. I want to produce healthy, adaptable, genetically sound dogs for tracking and herding work. I don't care about color and I don't breed flashy trophy dogs. My dogs aren't pets, they're working partners I can live with.
Q. & A. with Julia
Why did you start breeding?
I have future plans for puppies, but I won't proceed with a pairing unless I have a waitlist. I want every puppy I bring into the world to have a home waiting for them.What makes your program special?
All of my breeding dogs are NALC/UKC registered, embark tested, have CAER eye certification, OFA hips/elbow + Pennhip x-rays at 2 years of age (with fair or higher rating), other tests as necessary to ensure health. I also evaluate temperament; I won't breed a dog that doesn't have a sound mind and attitude. I give each dog a variety of activities and let them excel in what they enjoy doing.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
Getting a puppy from Julia
Julia has been certified by Good Dog's screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you're ready to reach out, feel free to ask any questions about the breed, their program, or specific puppies.
After buyers complete the application and screening process, Julia partners with them to find the best puppy match.
"The goal of my breeding program is to produce working dogs that can live in your home. The puppies are going to be started on blood tracking and will be available to working homes. I may have a few puppies that will do better as sport/pet candidates and they will be matched with appropriate homes. "
