specialised service dog breeding program
SDA is a specialised service dog breeding program that serves the global Guide and Assistance Dog industry. Occasionally we accept reservations for family pet placements for our puppies if we believe the placement will be a great success for both the puppy and the home.
Our program breeds service dog proven lines. For multiple generations, these breeding lines have had specific health and temperament traits selected for, or against, with the goal of developing an ideal service dog that demonstrates excellent trainability, comparatively lower distraction and anxiety levels than most dogs, natural willingness and intuition toward people and of course sound, reliable health through assessment of orthopedics, cardiac health, ophthalmic health and genetic disease testing.
If an SDA dog is deemed suitable for pet placement as opposed to placement in a working role, the dog may have reduced confidence in working environments or be more mentally sensitive to it’s surroundings than we think will serve it’s level of enjoyment in such a role. A dog with this temperament profile often makes a loving, compliant, settled family member.
