Q. & A. with Chris
Why did you start breeding?
My brother and I acquired our dog as an antler hunting dog. We enjoyed the experience of raising her as a puppy and eventually having a litter of puppies from her! This created the desire to acquire another dog so we can pass along the excitement and love of puppies, along to new puppy homes across the US.What makes your program special?
We take great pride in our puppies and are happy to provide a genetic health guarantee and lifelong support on all of them!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Chris was great to work with! Really responsive, helpful and upfront about everything. Our new pup is really healthy and happy too! He's doing excellent with potty training and has caught on to so many commands very quickly. We've took him in the car a few times and was surprised how well he handled it. He's been such a great addition to the family and would recommend this breeder to anyone looking!

We couldn’t be happier! Our Berne is exactly what we wanted! She is smart, spunky, and sweet. She became fast friends with our Boston and gets along well with other dogs in the family. Chris was great to work with, very responsive and willing to answer all questions. He has followed up to make sure she is adjusting well. We took her camping this past weekend at 11 weeks old and she did AMAZING! Thank you Chris for letting us adopt her.
