Q. & A. with Lynda-Sue

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I start running dogs in fields trail and hunt test in 1980's and found that the dogs I saw were granted handsome, but we're not the smartest and I noticed I feel, should live much longer then what I witness. So, I took the top breed lines at that time of the Field & Show & though over 6+ generations developed though heath testing, competing in field & proformance sports & holistic protocol my line

  • What makes your program special?

    I breed for three things above all else. Health, intelligence and personality. These three items I have found to be the building blocks to a well balance dog that any family would love. Yes, my dogs can hunt and bring home "Dinner", but not everyone is a hunter. I want my pups to be an integral part of the family and it really helps when you have a very smart pup, which I have been told my pup are

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
