Q. & A. with Doug

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started breeding when I was only 22 years old. I worked with a neighbor who was a successful breeder of Rottweilers. He mentored me and taught me the secrets of successful breeding. I have bred dogs for 40+ years.

  • What makes your program special?

    We focus first on the health of the dogs, using all of the testing possible to eliminate any health issues. We also carefully screen the pedigrees of all dogs before they enter our program. Our secondary area of focus is on socialization. We spend a great deal of time with early neurological stimulation (ENS) and developing the puppies as they grow. Our puppies are healthy, happy and huggable.

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

    Our puppies include blenheim, ruby, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
