Q. & A. with Terry
Why did you start breeding?
My husband and I have always been animal lovers. I enjoy the interaction and challenges involved in training, showing, and breeding. My husband, Henry, just loves all animals and that love is mutual. I have never seen a dog that didn’t love him. Breeding was a natural thing for us to do.What makes your program special?
My training as a medical research technician in reproductive endocrinology has been a wonderful advantage in the breeding aspect of our hobby. During my years at university, I was privileged to work and collaborate with many researchers, scientists, and veterinarians from top small animal reproductive centers including Cornell, UC Davis, Tulane, and even Université de Liège, Belgium, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Uppsala, Sweden.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Excellent level

Elbow Dysplasia Finals (OFA, BVA, SV, FCI)
Elbow testing reduces the chance of passing down elbow dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause arthritis in the elbow joint and front leg lameness.
Temperament Test
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A)
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
