Q. & A. with Rosalyn
Why did you start breeding?
I have been deeply involved with the rescue scene since I was 18 years old. Over my years with rescue, I have seen and experienced so much heartache. I have also come to realize that heavy selection produces consistent traits, and for an individual needing a dog for a specific purpose, an ethical breeder is the way to go.
What makes your program special?
I am active in bringing up the community and a working breed advocate. I am the trainer for Must Love Corsos Rescue as well as on the board for them, on the board for the Northwestern Boerboel Club, and an active member of breed clubs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
