About Cassandra
We own a raw dog food store (Indy Raw), a dock-diving pool and a training center all on one property located in Mooresville, IN. He is a dog trainer. We are both dog crazy, our whole lives & careers revolve around dogs. I've been showing/breeding Neos for 28 years. I've served on the AKC Parent club for the breed (USNMC) off and on for over 10 years. I've produced dozens of champions.
What makes Cassandra’s program special
Experience & passion for my breed. Neos are not for most people. They are incredibly hard to breed and rear. Even harder to find appropriate homes for. I'm very involved in my breeds community and I advocate for my pups at any age place or condition. I have seen the breed change over the years & I have new expectations beyond breed type & movement. I want to see longevity & function improve now.
