Q. & A. with Laura
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I began breeding Wirehairs in 1977. We've worked with other Retrievers and Pointers in the past, but when we came across our first Wirehair, we were hooked. We were amazed by their versatility and wanted to do what we could to help the breed.What makes your program special?
We focus on well rounded dogs. We take health, temperament, hunting ability and breed standard into consideration to produce the perfect Wirehair.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
