Q. & A. with Dyane
What makes your program special?
We stand behind our dogs. Not interested in just selling a dog but that the dog is right for you. If we do not have one that will fit your needs, we tell you so and refund your deposit. Health has always been important and we actively worked for Veterinary research on PRA, EIC and ED DNA testing development. Our dogs have participated in many studies. Our dogs are NOT a business but a love.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include dark deadgrass, deadgrass, brown, and sedge. 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.
