Q. & A. with Roger
Why did you start breeding?
After obtaining my female giant schnauzer from abroad with the intent of participating in AKC owner handler competition, I realized from judges feedback my dog was an outstanding bitch. As a result, I decided I wanted to start my own building pedigree. I was also encouraged by my international mentor who is well respected all over the world.What makes your program special?
My Program is very unique because it combines top Russian, Poland, and American bloodlines to ultimately obtain puppies with good coat, structure, movement, and temperature. Both sire and dame were extensively tested genetically and medically to minimize the risk of hereditary issues with their off spring. With these dogs you can go Back 4 generations. I the US and overseas.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
