We do several performance events, and participate in Conformation.
Q. & A. with Jayna
Why did you start breeding?
I purchased my 1st show dog 9 years ago, and put a bunch of titles on her in weight pull, Dock Jumping, lure coursing, rally-obedience, conformation, and her CGC. I had some good mentors, and decided to breed her after she passed all her health testing with flying colors. Thus far, i’ve only produced one litter.
What makes your program special?
The dogs I keep for breeding must first prove themselves in sports and in the show ring. I then health test them, and begin planning a breeding if they pass my muster. I will wash dogs from the program if they exhibit any flaws in temperament, per the breed standard.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
