Meet the breeder
I'm the breeder behind Double D Picards and GWPs located in Umatilla, FL. At Double D, it is of the utmost importance to us that our dogs are health tested and have well-balanced temperaments. We start them out on day one with ENS (early neurological stimulation), and our GWP pups are introduced to birds at around 4 weeks. Our Berger Picards and GWPs are among the top show and performance dogs in the US and Asia. We are proud to be Breeders of Merit with the AKC.
Deanna’s experience
About Deanna
Rick and I have been on a path for the past 20 years to make sure that we improve on our breeds and produce better than what we started out with. It starts from the day we line up breeding pairs. We study everything we can about the potential of the pairing, from health to structure and temperament. The purposeful dog has always been the end result we strive for.
What makes Deanna’s program special
We produce and own dogs that excel in show, performance, and field. They are also amazing family pets. We have been able to produce type and a signature look in both of our breeds. People can recognize a Double D dog anywhere. We own and have produced National Specialty winners, BOB winners at Westminster, and BOB AKC National Championship multi-group winning and field winning dogs. We have high expectations for our puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!

More about Deanna
Why Deanna started breeding
We got into breeding with the Berger Picard about 20 years ago. We imported our first Picard from Austria, and at that time there were only about 11 in North America. We fell in love with the breed and wanted to introduce them to the world. It's been an amazing journey and we love to share these wonderful breeds with others.
