Meet the breeder
I'm Newhall S., the breeder behind Terra Sassa located in Homosassa, FL. Showing my dogs is a huge part of my life. I am proud of the health, conformation, and temperament of the Frenchies I produce. They are also my beloved companions and I couldn't imagine my life without them!
Q. & A. with Newhall
Why did you start breeding?
When I bought my first Great Dane in the 1970s, I was fortunate to purchase her from a breeder who showed their Danes. They took me to the shows and I was bitten by the show bug. I did not breed my first litter for another decade while I was studying and learning but it was a natural transition to become a preservation breederWhat makes your program special?
When I breed, it is to improve on the parents and keep something to show and move forward with. Health, sound structure, and temperament are the priority. Health Testing and OFA certification is a priority in my breeding program. I stand behind my puppies and you will become a part of this family for a lifetime.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include fawn and fawn and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
