Q. & A. with Dominic
Why did you start breeding?
Once I got my first female I knew that my plan was to breed her. She was a phenomenal dog and I knew I wanted to be able to give people an option to have such a wonderful dog in our area. Once I had my first litter I became hyper focused on making the best German shorthair I possibly could.
What makes your program special?
I’ve always been a genetics guy and once I had my first litter I knew exactly what I was trying to create, year by year I get closer and closer to exactly what I envisioned when I had my first litter in 2019.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver roan and black roan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
