I'm Zippy B., the breeder behind Zulieka’s Kennel located in La Mesa, CA. After my first BRT was diagnosed with Addison's disease at two, my breeding program has an emphasis upon health testing. I have experienced first hand the importance of breeding puppies with health tested parents. I want to make sure I am only bringing the healthiest and happiest pups into the world.
Q. & A. with Zippy
Why did you start breeding?
I started showing with no intention of breeding. My second Black Russian Terrier was a fabulous male but I never bred him. My next was female was such a great example of the breed I knew I had to breed her.
What makes your program special?
I prioritize testing, genetics, and I am proud to have produced fabulous temperaments for the breed.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
