Q. & A. with D’Arcy

  • What makes your program special?

    My puppies are the product of years of experience, sound genetics and intensive early socialization. I make sure the puppy and new owner are matched based on temperament and lifestyle. I provide extensive support, including financial incentives for health clearances, and training and companionship titles. Each litter has an online family page where owners share photos, stories, and news.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    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.

    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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
