More about Clover

  • Why Clover started breeding

    My company, evolved into developing dogs as many of my clients have been asking for years for me to provide dogs for law enforcement and for personal protection. As I got into the competition arena, the goal was to produce dogs that were environmentally sound and can perform to the best of the breed's abilities.
