Q. & A. with Tad
What makes your program special?
We adhere to all ethical standards of the Vizsla Club of America and the American Kennel Club. This includes maintaining all health tests and records, and only breeding those dogs we know to be sound examples of the breed. Before placing a puppy in a home, we must make sure it is a good fit for one of our Vizslas. We also conduct face to face interviews and home inspections to know that the puppy is going to be in a safe and loving home.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
