Q. & A. with Rebecca
Why did you start breeding?
Purposeful and ethical breeding is so important for the healthy progression of the Spinone Italiano. My goals are to breed with a focus on health, good temperament, structure, and field ability for a well-rounded dog!
What makes your program special?
I am a premier breeder of Spinone Italiano. I do not breed my dogs unless they are health-certified, happy, and excellent representations of the breed standard. My dogs also make great family companions and have the ability to excel in obedience, tracking, agility, therapy, and more! My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies. I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to and always ensure that each one goes to the best home possible complementary to its personality and ability.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
