Q. & A. with Josie
Why did you start breeding?
My goal is to breed strong, healthy performance dogs to continue field work. I am proud of the quality dogs that I breed.What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Labrador Retrievers. I do not breed my dogs unless they are CHIC certified in canine health. These tests are documented and are far more extensive beyond a normal veterinary check. Because I breed performance dogs, I look to place my pups only into performance and field homes.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
