Raluca’s experience
About Raluca
I love Carolina Dogs and am dedicated to looking out for the breed as a whole. I am a board member of the Carolina Dog Society of America, very proud to be breeding and showing these incredible dogs. I strive for public education and advocacy, and believe it is important to produce genetically authentic, versatile, well-rounded, socialized, healthy pups for new families to welcome into their homes and hearts.
What makes Raluca’s program special
My focus on dog health, genetics, and authenticity is what makes my program special. I use scientifically established means of health testing and compare the coefficients of potential breeding pairs to reduce incidents of unwanted traits and address the issue of inbreeding within this breed. It is an honor to represent Carolina Dogs and create opportunities for others to experience the same.
