Battle Buddies
Battle Buddies is an organization that we work with to help provide service and assistance dogs to Wounded Warriors and retired Service Veterans with PTSD and other issues. Jo Anne Creed and her team do a wonderful job training these puppies and placing them in the hands of people that both need and deserve them. The dogs love it as well! They love to be needed and love to work.
You can see more on the Battle Buddies website or you can contact us if you have further questions.
OFA
The Orthopedic Foundation for Animals is the organization that we use to do most of our testing and certifications on our dogs for health clearances before allowing them to reproduce.
Their mission is to promote the health and welfare of companion animals through a reduction in the incidence of genetic disease.
Animal Genetics
Animal Genetics is an organization that we use to perform DNA testing to help prevent genetic disorders. This is where we have our testing done for different types of blindness, skin disorders, and muscular dystrophy.
FCI
The Federation Cynologique Internationale is an international federation of kennel clubs. They are based in Belgium. Some of our imported dogs are registered with this organization as well as being registered with the American Kennel Club.
This organization also provides some of our health clearances and is supposed to be the European equivalent to the OFA.
