Breeding and Certification

Breeding

Stud Dogs are available on a limited basis to outside bitches with the appropriate health clearances and breed type and temperament evaluations.

Puppies are occasionally available since I breed only to improve the breed. I raise and socialize all litters in my home.

When Puppies are available, they have been wormed, have their series of puppy vaccinations started, and have microchips implanted for permanent identification.

All puppies are sold with an AKC Limited Registration. This can be changed to Full Registration if the puppy has excellent conformation and upon completion of the appropriate health screenings.

Certification

All dogs in my breeding program are:

• Screened for orthopedic disease by OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals).

• Examined by a board certified veterinary ophthalmologist and registered with CERF (Canine Eye Research Foundation).

• Evaluated for heart defects.

• Checked for the hereditary disease, vWD (von Willebrands Disease),
  by DNA testing.

• Tested for thyroid disease, common in many dog breeds.
