Q. & A. with Robbie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Ten years ago I acquired a great female and had the good fortune to have access to a great male with the best qualities, qualities that improved my female’s. We produced outstanding litters with the 2 dogs. We only wanted to get better after that as our puppies saw success.
  • What makes your program special?

    We only acquire and breed the soundest dogs. They are part of our family. We health and genetically test our dogs, as well as OFA Certification. My breeding dogs are now DK’s from Europe. We sell puppies by contract only and limited AKC registration, as well as a strict return clause. Our puppies are bred carefully and selectively from only the very best dogs. We only have 1-2 litters per year.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include liver roan, black roan, liver and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
