Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with Ayana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I happen to see this breed for the first time in 2020, and my first experience with them was watching them work stock up close, and do amazingly well at it. I got interested and decided to meet a few of them personally and instantly fell in love with their workability and personalities! I wanted to own and breed those same dogs I first witnessed and fell in love with!
  • What makes your program special?

    I want to make my breeding program be able to cater in all aspects, not just working. For breedings I look at both parents temperaments, their families temperaments and accomplishments in consideration before decidedly choosing they will do well! The goal is to breed for a purpose in mind, a job in mind, and so when people come to look for a dog they'll find one here for that purpose!
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include red mottled, red speckled, blue mottled, blue speckled, and blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    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.

  • Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)

    Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.

  • 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.

  • Patellar Luxation

    Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.

  • Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), PRA, Rod-Cone Dysplasia 4 (rcd4), DNA Disease Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), Primary Lens Luxation (PLL)

    From day 1 working with Ayana and my pup in interest couldn’t have been more perfect than it was. Weekly photos, very fluid communication made this whole process very easy. So happy with my pup as his life now is traveling with me, OTR truck driver and he’s really been quite the breath of fresh air, VERY INTELLIGENT, can’t get over how sharp Pete is. Highly recommend Ayana for your forever fur baby.
