Q. & A. with Tracie
Why did you start breeding?
It was a natural progression for me who has always loved animals, especially dogs, after retiring from helping humans welcome their newborns as a midwife.What makes your program special?
Our dogs are encouraged to be all business in the field, and chill in the house, on leash, and in public. Our girls have their Canine Good Citizen titles and passing runs at hunt test. Duck, pheasant and grouse are the game birds we train for. My husband's ability to spot the lineages in the pedigrees and my attention to care, feeding, and recordkeeping as a certified vet tech help us reach our goals.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppies are brown. Golden Retriever puppies include dark golden and golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
