Q. & A. with Tracy
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in the breeding of Labradors for sport and loved it. Learning the heart breaking challenges of rare breeds really pulled me into the preservation efforts of many breeds.What makes your program special?
We take great pains to produce genetically healthy dogs to preserve and grow a healthier breed. We also spend endless hours handling, training and exposing our puppies to new experiences to better prepare them for their future homes, vocations and lives.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

“Puppies come with genetic health testing, a lifetime genetic health guarantee, lifetime breeder support, and early neurological stimulation. Puppies are raised with Puppy Culture protocols to ensure they have the best start to life. Puppies will have FCPR, UKC and AKC-FSS registration for show/breeding quality puppies and AKC-FSS for non-show quality puppies. The deposit will reserve a puppy from a litter of choice based on the waitlist for that expecting litter. Puppies are chosen after DNA testing, temperament testing and evaluations are completed (between 6-10 weeks of age).”
