Q. & A. with Dina
Why did you start breeding?
I felt I could breed a better dog than what I was seeing in the breed.
What makes your program special?
I care a great deal about the health of my dogs – I get their eyes and hips tested and contribute ASC research at the University of Pennsylvania in an effort to find the gene for cataracts in cocker spaniels. I enjoy showing my dogs and am a proud member of The American Spaniel Club, am local breed clubs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
