Q. & A. with Jeff
Why did you start breeding?
We are dedicated to keeping the breed pure, breeding only the “BEST” of the original old school standard bloodline.
What makes your program special?
We are as rare as our dogs. We are very selective about who gets our dogs. We have a waiting list of people who have been waiting for as long as a year or more. Why do these people wait for our dogs? Read our testimonials. We do not breed often and do not always have puppies available. As a matter of fact, we have never had any puppies not spoken for prior to their birth.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in a kennel on my property.
