Q. & A. with Jordan
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in Maine around my father's dog breeding program. His focus was breeding high-caliber, all-around bird dogs. This ignited my passion for breeding biddable, sound, versatile dogs, leading me to the Austrailian Shepherd along with continuing my passion for Labrador Retrievers.What makes your program special?
First and foremost, we love our dogs! Our program focuses on health (CHIC+) and temperament. All puppies will be raised on Puppy Culture surrounded by our pack, on our five acres of lakefront in rural Maine, ensuring they get the best foundation possible.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, red merle, blue merle, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Walker
Walker is a phenomenal working dog with a wonderful natural off switch. Soft mouth, tons of go, birdy (as h*ll), and a pleasure to hunt upland and waterfowl. Drives hard on blinds and a great marker. He’s a dream in the house and very dog neutral. Excellent food and toy drive and loves to work. This dog has a bombproof temperament with tons of drive with no reactivity. He’s a dream around kids and strangers alike. Walker will be available to stud after final OFA’s are complete to approved females.
