Q. & A. with Jean
Why did you start breeding?
I got my first Chinook, Ukko, in 2007. He is a great dog that other Chinook breeders loved, but was not being used as a stud dog. I wanted to be sure to do my best to move many of his great characteristics forward, so I found a female that was a good genetic match and had my first litter when she was 3 years of age. I kept a female, had another litter with her, and kept a male from that litter. I now am working with breed-potential pups and their owners to help them produce litters of their own.What makes your program special?
My priority is quality over quantity and my puppies are placed in loving homes that I have reviewed carefully. When a family or individual takes one of my puppies into their home, they become part of my family for the life of the dog. I truly love my dogs and what I do. I want the best for each of my pups and their forever families.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
