Q. & A. with Jessica
Why did you start breeding?
Your journey into show dog breeding began with a deep love for animals and appreciation for the beauty and dedication involved in the world of dog shows.

With hard work, learning, connection with the show dog community, you’ve turned your passion into a rewarding pursuit.

They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Great level
Explicit Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for American Staffordshire Terriers.
Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary), Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis 4A (NCL4A), American Staffordshire Terrier Type
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
