Q. & A. with Travis
Why did you start breeding?
My current dog Ruth, has been an exceptional family pet and partner in the field. She has all the great traits that I would like others to experience with this breed. Ruth scored a 112 points perfect score on NAVHDA Natural Ability Test. She has many desirable hunting traits that drew the interest of a owner of a VC Sire to start our first litter.What makes your program special?
This is the first of multiple litters I expect with this dog (Ruth) and possibly more with her offspring. We are centrally located in the USA and looking to continue to improve upon this desirable breed.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
