Q. & A. with Terril
Why did you start breeding?
We have bred a few females over the past 20 years, mainly as a hobby. We will only breed once all health tests are completed AND the female is talented enough to help improve the talent pool out there.
What makes your program special?
We currently only have one female. We only intend to breed her once she passes all of her health certifications. Our female also lives in the house with us so we only want to produce quality and extremely talented dogs for hunting and hunt tests but also nice looking dogs that anyone would be proud of owing as a pet!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
