Q. & A. with Carrie
What makes your program special?
I breed very little. I was very active in showing conformation and obedience many years ago. Later, i was a single mom raising 2 kids and stopped showing and therefore breeding, for many years. I got back into showing about 6 years ago and have my first litter since resuming. My dogs are top quality and members of the family. All health tests plus DNA tests have been performed.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, red, and black tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
