We give each of our dogs and puppies the best care that we can. Our breeding program stands out because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. From researching breeding pairs and conducting health testing, to purposefully raising each pup with proper socialization and care, our goal is to help preserve this historic breed.

Q. & A. with Maureen

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My family got a Norwegian Elkhound puppy when I was 13 and Dad started showing him and did really well becoming the #10 Elkhound in the country. I was then gifted a beautiful female puppy that I showed myself and finished her championship and then bred the litter and kept a puppy that I finished as a Champion when he was 10 months old. That was when I was hooked on breeding but took many periods of time off, for school and life, etc. started breeding Goldens n 1987 when I worked for a kennel that bred them and fell in love with the breed. I also fell in love with the Cavalier for their wonderful temperament and beauty and their compact size.

  • What makes your program special?

    I breed only a few litters a year and do my best to combine health, temperament , beauty and the AKC Breed Standard.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
