Q. & A. with Bethany
Why did you start breeding?
From a young age, I had a desire for purebred dogs. I was subscribed to every dog fancy magazine and worked at local canine sporting events meeting many breeds. I became a registered veterinary technician in 2014. I assisted in whelping and raising many litters. I have learned so much and shaped a program that involves a lot of research in creating an intelligent and versatile active companion.
What makes your program special?
At Sanguine Moon, we believe in the heart of the hunter. GSPs are such a versatile breed in their abilities to work. Our dogs are personable, class clowns, who mean business when it comes time to go to work at any job asked of them. We believe in matching the puppy to the family. We believe this offers the most success and pleasure to your family and the puppy!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver roan, liver and white, and liver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

About Stitch
Stitch is a phenomenal athlete driven to please. She is very engaging both inside and outside of the field. She is a dog that runs big and enjoys playing NSTRA trials. She is a dog capable of any task asked of her. I have taken her into the show ring, dock diving, field trials, hunt tests, and fast cats.
At home she is the class clown and strived to make her humans smile while annoying her other four legged companions with her shenanigans. She is a fantastic dog with our young children and will even accept and respect commands from the little ones.
She is NAVHDA, AKC & UKC Registered

Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
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.
Dentition, Brucellosis
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.
Cone Degeneration, German Shorthaired Pointer Type, Animal Genetics Panel
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).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
