Q. & A. with Janet
Why did you start breeding?
As a veterinarian, I have always been passionate about the well-being of animals. I wanted to put my passion to good use! It's been a joyful commitment, and it is a pleasure to live with, work with, and share with others these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to my dogs and my policies. I am thorough in health testing and caring for my dogs, and I make sure each puppy gets the proper group and individual care that it needs to thrive. My goal is to ensure that every dog that comes from my program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves my care. I am very particular about where my puppies end up. I need to make certain that people have the time, commitment, understanding about the breed and training and what it takes to raise a puppy to be a joy for a family and space for their dog to have exercise.What are the different breed coat types in your program?
Our puppies have long coats. Coat types may vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

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.
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).
