Meet the breeder

I'm Emma V., the breeder behind Emma Vescovo located in Austin, TX. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on conformation, athleticism, and intelligence. We strive to preserve the breed’s working dog roots, while producing puppies that will excel in both show and sports. We provide support for our puppy owners for the lifetime of their dog.

Q. & A. with Emma

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I got into breeding with the ownership of my first well-bred purebred, a kooikerhondje named Ducky, whom I co-own with my friend and mentor in the breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    My experience working with a wide variety of dogs in multiple sports makes me uniquely qualified to evaluate puppies for performance potential. I also work with an incredible network of experienced breeders and owners that assist in evaluating litters and providing top quality breeding dogs.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • DNA Disease Panel, Hereditary Necrotizing Myelopathy (ENM), von Willebrand Disease I (vWD I)

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
