I have never been a prolific breeder. I believe in breeding for quality not quantity. While I love to produce top show and performance dogs, my focus is ALWAYS on producing top quality companion animals. I believe todays Icelandic can excel at most venues IF the right puppy is matched with the right home.

 

Breeding takes place when I'm looking for a puppy myself.  I breed to correct faults, improve health, set breed specific traits and develop sound, stable temperaments.  This means I rarely have the BEST stud dog for a given bitch! My ideal mate MUST possess strengths in areas of my bitches weakness. I believe in importing pups with new lines, traveling to better studs and using technology to increase my chances of success.  I adhere to maintaining the lowest inbreeding co-effecient possible while maintaining health, correct temperament and correcting faults.  I do not breed dysplastic dogs or dogs with known eye issues. Breeding is a dance and an art that requires knowledge of Iceland's dog, the breed standard, pedigrees, breed type, structure, health and temperament. Its an ongoing process; a study I have invested 15 years in.  My greatest hope is to leave a positive and lasting impact on the breed.
