We have a total commitment to this beautiful breed and have put together points of interest in terms of our responsibility as a breeder and your responsibility as one of our owners.
What you can expect from us
To only breed to improve. We have made a wholehearted commitment to the well-being and improvement of this breed. We make the health and temperament of our dogs our first priority in breeding. We have studied and researched this breed and know, intimately, its history and Standard, its strong points and drawbacks. We make working ability of our breed a top priority in breeding, and do not breed any dog that has not been proven to have good to excellent working ability. We continually strive to learn more about our breed and to get to know many different bloodlines in an effort to improve our own. Our Dogs are not bred until they have proven their worthiness in health, working ability, and structure (this means at least two years old, when the dog is fully mature and eligible for all health clearances). We make every effort to match puppy to buyer in temperament, attitude and energy level as well as physical qualities. We have built up a good reputation, based on dedication and consistent quality, not on volume, advertising, or from haphazard breeding to make or break records or to satisfy an ego!
