Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
After having our first German Pinscher and getting involved with dog shows, we retired. With great consideration and having the time we thought it would be a wonderful idea to start having a litter once per year. It was a new experience for us and we thoroughly enjoy sharing this breed with potential puppy owners from our kennel.What makes your program special?
Our kennel follows GPCA guidelines for breed testing and more. Test results are on ofa.org and stud dog testing results are confirmed. Our puppies are raised in our home, whelped in the master bedroom. At 3-4 weeks they are moved to the main part of the house. Training starts at a very young age. Every little thing we do, affects the life of that puppy. Potential new owners are screened.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
