Meet the breeder

Q. & A. with James

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My dad bred and trained Labs for 38 years. I have been around it since I was a kid. I met my 1st GSP in 2007 and fell in love with the breed. I did my research on the breed, bloodlines, and found my foundation stock for my kennel. I selectively found the beat dogs for my breeding program and have been breeding since 2008. The GSP is an amazing dog and I feel honored to be apart of this breed.
  • What makes your program special?

    We have selectively chosen imported lines for our breeding program. They are amazing hunters and have an off switch at home and make equally great family companions. Imported lines also designate the true breed standard and that is our goal in our breeding program. All of our breeding stock is health tested and OFA certified on hips and elbows ensuring a healthy litter now and in the future.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

    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.

    Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
