Q. & A. with Cindy and Mark
Why did you start breeding?
We came across the breed nearly 25 years ago, and became involved in training and competing with our first several dogs. Our ever-growing love for the breed informed and encouraged our entry into the world of breeding.What makes your program special?
Our desire as preservation breeders is to produce and then breed to the best examples of the Breed Standard that we can. Our breedings are carefully chosen in order to result in happy, healthy, intelligent pups who are as happy in the field and the show ring as they are at home playing with and snuggling with their people.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
