Q. & A. with Julie
What makes your program special?
I love competition and working with my dogs so the only time I have litters is when I want to keep a new dog for myself. Because of this, I am very selective about the dogs that are part of my breeding program and each litter I have.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

About Aspen
She loves to retrieve and has a moderate to high drive. She excels in Rally and Scent Work earning a multitude of titles before she was 2. She has various titles in sports listed below but if she could speak she would say her main passion is any activity having to do with water; dock diving, hunting, swimming, and bath time she loves them all! In the house she's well mannered and calm. Aspen exemplified the gentle, kind, and willing temperament that her breed is known for. Her lineage is English lines known for their blocky heads while still having an athletic build.
