Meet the breeder
I'm Dan R., the breeder behind Water's Edge located in Minnesota. Our dogs excel both in and out of the show ring. They are excellent representations of the breed and have wonderful temperaments. We enjoy training our dogs, competing in conformation shows and sports-flyball, agility and field tests as well as spending lots of time with them doing a variety of other activities! We love our dogs dearly and are so proud of their accomplishments. Health and temperament are of utmost importance to us.
