I'm Christian C., the breeder behind Cross Canine located in Waterford Works, NJ. We breed athletic dogs with correct conformation and stable, balanced temperaments. Our dogs are raised to coexist safely, showing no unnecessary inter-dog aggression, and are capable of being kenneled and worked together without conflict. They are confident, social, and excellent around children.
Q. & A. with Christian
Why did you start breeding?
I began breeding after years of hands-on training experience. Working closely with high-quality dogs inspired me to preserve strong genetics, stable temperaments, and sound structure. Breeding became a natural extension of my passion for developing exceptional working and family companions.
What makes your program special?
My program focuses on temperament, health, and real-world stability. Puppies are raised with early neurological stimulation, socialization, and structured foundation work. I prioritize pairing dogs with proven character, correct structure, and balanced drives to produce reliable, well-rounded companions.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
