Q. & A. with Dana

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Ellie was diagnosed with Boxer Cardio Myopathy at 2, she lived to 8. That is when the passion to breed health tested boxer was born.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am constantly researching on what helps the breed to have better health and temperaments. I love on, talk to and handle by pups daily. with my pups daily. I do ESI and ENS training as I think it has a big impact on their health and temperaments. I expose them to a dog door, crate, sound, different textures, and start on potty training. They are also receiving NuVet in their puppy food.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include fawn and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
