It is my fervent hope that someday all breeders will recognize the importance of working together diligently, harmoniously and respectfully for the improvement and perpetuation of the breeds that we love. Remember the "golden" rule. In the meantime, I will continue with an intransigent passion to do my absolute best to honor the past, present and future of the breed. - Laura 2/24/23.

We follow the advice of our veteriarians for managing breedings. We do natural breedings, no AI's and no frozen semen (yet) and natural births...we have never needed a cesarean section. We do not have pregnant dams radiographed (to avoid exposure). All dogs are health tested before breeding. Our dog's records are open and available for your review either in our files, or in OFA.org's database. For health test results on the OFA site, please go to www.ofa.org and inquire using the AKC numbers in the listings below. If a test is missing, there are reasons such as waiting for the dog to be old enough for the test and pending appointments and results. Most importantly, we breed for overall perfection...and know we'll never get there, but that's the goal nonetheless. The proof is in the progeny. 3 year health guarantee for hips, heart and eyes.
