As the Vice President and Director of Education of the American Pomsky Kennel Club, I dedicate an extraordinary amount of time to the future progress of this beautiful breed.

I want the breed to succeed and am doing everything possible as an ethical breeder to make it so.

I am one of only a handful of Pomsky breeders in the nation that performs OFA hips/elbows/patella as well as cardiac and thyroid tests on my adults.

I also perform Embark DNA testing that genetically tests against over 200 known canine inherited issues.

My adults are carefully examined annually by my vet. I proudly breed under the watchful eye of my Veterinarian, who is also a multi-year national champion Brittany breeder and AKC judge. Normally, she visits my whelping facilities as I have her come onsite for 6 week check-ups and vaccinations (this has changed with Covid for now), and she gives insightful information on each litter of puppies as far as structure and assists my decision-making on who to breed and what the faults/strengths are of my foundation dogs.

It’s due to this close relationship that my kennel has progressed.

I love these puppies and I care deeply about what kind of dog they grow into as adults. My son and I work hard to give the puppies all the cuddles and new situations possible so that they are able to be the best adult dogs they can be.

We implement ENS (Early Neurological Stimulation) protocols and some Puppy Culture protocols during the raising of these amazing dogs.

I also regularly try new socialization techniques to see if something else may work better.
