Puppies have blood drawn for the University of Missouri study, and we do Glanzmann's testing before they go to their new homes. Nearly all sires and dams are champions.

Q. & A. with Diana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Desire to diversity our genetic foundation in a rare breed for better health and breed longevity, while maintaining the breed standard to be competitive in the conformation ring.
  • What makes your program special?

    Most of our adult dogs are CHIC certified. These tests are documented and are far more extensive beyond a normal veterinary check. One of my goals in my breeding program is to promote responsible breeding to ensure that the Otterhound will continue to move forward for generations to come. I am very dedicated with what I do and what I strive to achieve. I work with passion, heart, integrity, and truly want what's best for the Otterhound line.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include wheaten and black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
