As proprietors of stud dogs, the meticulous selection of dam owners who espouse akin breeding principles and objectives stands as a critical facet in upholding the credibility of our breeding program. This necessitates a thorough evaluation of the intentions and methodologies of potential breeding collaborators to ascertain concurrence with preservation objectives as opposed to purely monetary incentives. It entails distinguishing between preservation breeders and individuals involved in alternative breeding approaches. As preservation breeders, our emphasis lies in according precedence to the conformation compatibility, health, and lineage of prospective partners with the aim of preservation, rather than financial gain. Conversely, breeders with disparate objectives adhere to distinct practices and motives, and it is imperative for us to preclude the exploitation of our established breeding lines. Thus, it is paramount for us to judiciously select breeding partners to ensure the existence of shared breeding principles and objectives, all serving to perpetuate the sanctity of our pedigrees.

Exciting updates about our upcoming Spring 2025 litter are on the way!

Spring Edition 2025
Our Waitlist is Open

There are so many different factors that go into breeding. The main goal is to improve the breed through intentional and purposeful breeding by matching the strengths and weaknesses of the Dam and Sire. One factor is genetic and health screening. While most of the former are probability markers and not definitive diagnoses, genetic and health screening both offer additional decision-making tools and are essential to ensure healthy dogs in the generations to come!

What is the Sport of Conformation?

The official term for dog shows is conformation — as in, the act of conforming or producing conformity. While a dog show may look like a beauty pageant, it's not. Dogs are not being compared to each other; they're being measured by how closely they conform to the standard of their particular breed. Why? Because the closer a dog’s appearance is to the breed’s standard, the better that dog’s ability will be to produce puppies that meet the standard. It’s also the reason why mixed breeds and spayed or neutered purebreds are ineligible to compete in conformation.

As one of the most popular AKC events, conformation events range from large all-breed shows, with over 3,000 dogs entered, to small local specialty club shows that feature only one breed.
