Our breeding program, Upcoming litters and future litter plans
Working with carefully selected dogs from working breed backgrounds, we hope to create
dogs for people that want something specific from their canine companion. We vet new owners with the scrutiny our dogs deserve, ensuring a permanent loving home for them. We are responsible for what we breed and offer continuing support for the dogs lifetime.
Our health guarantee is one of the most complete on the market today. Countless hours are spent pouring over pedigrees and contemplating clear health results to produce the most sound dogs possible, both in body and mind. See UPCOMING LITTERS page to see the plans in action.
