Q. & A. with Dustin
Why did you start breeding?
My wife was a breeder of English mastiffs and weat highland terriers when she was young with her father. I fell in love with the giant schnauzers and poodles and wanted to make other families as happy as we were when we got our fur babies.
What makes your program special?
We are striving to mix up the gene pool of the giants here in America. Are male Roman is from Serbia and is now AKC and serbian registered. We are also striving to bring back the paper and salt colors if the giants.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
