Meet the breeder
I'm Mary Ann R., the breeder behind Goodnight Trail located in Santa Fe, NM. My focus is on excellence in every aspect of my breeding program. I offer top-quality Scottish Deerhounds and Borzois for show and pet homes. I am purposeful in everything that I do regarding my dogs, which includes careful selection of breeding dogs and extensive health testing. My goal is to produce healthy dogs with great temperaments that are exemplary representations of the breed. My puppies are home raised and socialized from Day 1. I am a three time Board member of the Scottish Deerhound Club of America and a member of the SDCA's Health and Genetics Committee since 2010. l am also a Board member of the Borzoi Health and Welfare Foundation.
Q. & A. with Mary Ann
Why did you start breeding?
I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and a pleasure to live with, work with, and share these dogs with others! It is important to me that I not only preserve my own phenomenal bloodlines but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come!What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. Just “good” isn’t good enough. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
