I'm Candace K., the breeder behind Marnac located in Paola, KS. My focus is on producing puppies for me and my future breeding program. Therefore, the entire litter will be high quality and some will be available to carefully selected homes. I am a small hobby breeder which allows me to give each and every dog and puppy the love and attention they deserve.
Q. & A. with Candace
Why did you start breeding?
My husband wanted a Labrador Retriever to hunt. We spent some time investigating breeders and chose a dog that we felt could hunt and be in the show ring.
What makes your program special?
I started with two-line bred dogs who were outcrosses. They both came from healthy, well-tempered parents who had a reputation for being good producers. I crossed the offspring back into the sire's side of the pedigree and then crossed to an uncle of the dam. I prefer to do linebreedings and outcross to bring in desired qualities. The outcross stud must have a record of producing healthy, stable pups.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies are red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Marnac reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Cotons de Tulear.
Hip Dysplasia (Preliminary), Hip Dysplasia
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), von Willebrand Disease II (vWD II), Chondrodystrophy and IVDD Risk (CDDY-IVDD), DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Full Embark Panel, Exercise Induced Collapse (EIC), GenSol Diagnostics DNA Testing
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
