Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
Breeder of my stud male Udolf suggested I show and begin this journey with him. Have been interested in the breed since 1976 and found it difficult to locate healthy well-bred Bouviers.What makes your program special?
We are a small and focused breeding program. We are able to devote ample time and energy to our dogs and puppies. We are striving for quality and do not look for quantity. We only whelp one litter a year, putting our Bouviers health and testing priority for the future of the breed.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Price
Puppy prices include between $3,000 - $3,500 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“This price includes AKC registration, microchip, tail dock if requested, dew claw removal at 3 days old. The puppies receive a wellness check at birth and 6 - 8 weeks with first shots. Deposit is refundable up to 24 hours after birth, we understand life happens. The Damn may not have had enough males or females to meet the deposit order of dates received or if that is the case some may not want to wait to the following years litter. Must have this decision before tails would be docked, as some would prefer to keep their tail as the mother has hers.”
