I am an IAABC Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and NADOI Certified Instructor.  What that brings to my puppies are all the early critical socialization and training so you can take home a puppy that has learned his/her basics and is prepared to face their new environment with confidence and knowledge.  I prepare my pups with Early Neurological Stimulation, early obedience training, socialization in my home (not a kennel environment).  Because of this reason, I only breed occasionally, but my puppies are extremely well prepared with life skills.  I follow the most up to date health recommendations from Dr. Jean Dodds for vaccination protocols and I start my puppies on only the best raw foods available. My breeding stock is tested for hip, elbow, DM, and eye health.  My goal is to produce a puppy with the healthiest start that is sound in mind and structure.  While my breeding dogs come from the very top West German Show Line dogs, I look toward producing puppies that can thrive in a pet environment, but also maintain their ability to work with balanced drives.  I want puppies that can relax at home, but perform on a training field, stock pen or in the demands of Search and Rescue or detection.  I believe that without proper form (structure) there can be no proper function. I expect my breeding stock to be able to perform at the tasks they were originally bred to do.  I train and title all my own breeding stock so I know their strengths and weaknesses.  I never send them out just to obtain titles.
