Q. & A. with Drayford
Why did you start breeding?
I want to do my part to better the breed. I hold the AKC standard in very high regard, and I will not produce a litter unless my dogs are healthy, have great conformation, and are of show-quality. It is such an honor to preserve the line of these incredible dogs all the while creating companionship for others!
What makes your program special?
I am a premier breeder of Rottweilers. I strive for quality and excellence with everything that I do. Holding myself to high standards is paramount to the well-being of my dogs and to the integrity of my program. Each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors to ensure health, happiness, and harmony at the start of its life. My beautiful pups are sure to make loving companions for your family for many years to come!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
