Zodiac Ranch
Meet the breeder
I'm Linda L., the breeder behind Zodiac Ranch located in Milford, MI. I have been a Buhund breeder since 1997. All my breeding stock have been checked for hip dysplasia, and their eyes are checked yearly for cataracts, and the results of these tests are recorded with OFA. Most of my breeding stock are AKC Champions. I Have been a member and approved breeder with the Norwegian Buhund Club of America for many years.
Q. & A. with Linda
Why did you start breeding?
I have always had an interest in breeding, and one of my greatest joys is helping new families find their perfect soulmate.What makes your program special?
I have strived to breed for hardiness and good temperaments. I have imported 3 different males from Europe over the years, to help expand our gene pool. I have mentored several new breeders along the way, and am proud to see their accomplishments in breeding and the show ring.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are wheaten. 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.
