Q. & A. with Rhonda
Why did you start breeding?
After meeting other breeders and seeing the lack of quality breeding that had important health clearances completed before breeding I knew that I could do better and have.
What makes your program special?
When you get a puppy from me you become part of my dog family. I am available 24/7/365. 30 years these dogs have owned me and 6 years working at a vet's office with 22+ years of breeding experience it qualifies me to know what I am doing & to help you have the best companion possible.
What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Weimaraner puppies have smooth coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Vizsla puppies are golden rust. Weimaraner puppies are silver gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Excellent level
Midwest Dream 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 Vizslas.

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.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
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.
DNA Disease Panel
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).
