Q. & A. with Austen
What makes your program special?
We have evolved our bloodline to specifically get rid of a multitude of health issues generally associated with larger dog breeds. We have extremely healthy dames, and we lose less than 3% of the puppies our dames give birth to. We have no hip or elbow dysplasia present in ANY of our dogs. We have never lost a puppy to parvo at any time since we startede breeding. We specifically target friendly, kid protective, intelligent, and animal friendly dogs with which to breed with. Our dogs seem to be very good at recognizing risks such as ant hills or road ways and are very adept at steering their owner's children away from such dangers.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include medium and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

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.
