Why we breed
Raising dogs is like raising children except you get to spoil them! I raised my children with the
vision of the long-term outcome. And so it is with my dogs. I take great pleasure in providing an
environment that allows living, sentient beings to achieve their full potential and in turn go out
into the world and enrich the of the people who know them.
· How we breed
I breed only dogs that meet the FCI Standard and grade the puppies accordingly and will err on
the side of selling a show dog as pet rather than visa-versa. My dogs have all been evaluated by
my veterinarian for soundness. I will be pursuing further testing as they come of the appropriate
ages for testing and/or as any health problems emerge in the breed. I will only breed my bitches if
they are in excellent health and will support them physiologically and emotionally through their
gestation and post-natal period.
· Raising Puppies
This is what is all about! Relative to a dog's lifetime, no other time period will have as much
impact on puppy development as the first several months. Critical interventions must happen in
order for a puppy to be a good companion, not to mention reach their full potential. Actual
brain development is dependent on appropriate stimulation at certain times in their development
outside the womb. Human bonding is dependent on positive association with humans. Confidence
and emotional stability are developed during these months. This, of course, is not to say that
each puppy isn't born with it's own inherent disposition and genetic blueprint, it is just a matter
of recognizing each puppy's strengths and weaknesses and working with them. I work with each
puppy everyday at whatever level they are at. Our puppies and dogs are my priority. I have always
had a special affinity for animals, and that, coupled with experience and copious reading doesn't
make me an expert, but certainly guides my hand in what and why I do what I do. I raise dogs and
puppies with intention.
