We believe that every breeding should be carefully planned in advance to make sure that you have healthy, happy puppies. If you have any questions or would like to discuss stud service plans, please contact me at or by phone at 831-476-9065.

We have signed the JRTCA Breeder's Code of Ethics which requires that we follow certain health and breed standards to protect the breed.

WHAT WE NEED:

1) Pedigree
This is the first step to making a good match. Please send us a copy of her pedigree by email or by fax (toll free fax 1-888-522-6809).

2) Photos
We would like to see your female or see a photo of her. You can email these or send them to us by mail.

3) Tests
The tests that we require help us make sure that your dog is free of genetic issues before the breeding is done. Please provide us with a copy of the veterinarians findings.

We breed approved outside bitches with a current (within 30 days) negative brucellosis, a normal BAER and a clear CERF, and we provide the same on our stud dogs for the records of the owner of the bitch. We require that all of the bitch's vaccinations and worming be documented and up to date (in the last 30 days).

a) The CERF eye test is an simple annual test that must be done by a veterinary opthalmologist. We would prefer the female to be at least 2 to 3 years old. There is a list of eye specialists at: www.vmdb.org/clinic.html

b) The BAER hearing test is a test also done by a specialist. An article with a list of veterinarians is available at this web site.

c) Brucellosis Canis is a disease that can cause sterility and serious illness in dogs. The test ideally needs to be current within 30 days.

4) Planning
We would like to have you keep us up to date on the expected heat cycle and call us us as soon after she started her heat as possible. As with any biological function, schedules can vary widely and you should contact us quite early to make sure that we will be available.
