We are Ruth and Ludwig Hartmann. We have
been blessed with |
Our dogs are FIRST and foremost our pets ... we would love them the same whether
they turn out to be outstanding show or obedience dogs or just lay at our
feet enjoying life together with us. Because they are our pets and family
members we do not have a lot of them living with us. We keep them kenneled
only when absolutely necessary and have them in our home as much as possible
so that they can also have an enjoyable family life besides being taken out
to be shown off. |

Ruth works part time as a graphic artist at a local print shop so has the time needed
to spend training/ playing and working with the dogs ... and kids!
|
Ludwig owns and operates his own Stone Masonry business and has his workshop on our
property as well where he spends a fair bit of time sculpting and tooling stones
for jobs as well as working out on job sites. He also enjoys playing
the clarinet with a local band and at our church. |

Our boys are involved in school/University activities as well as music
and other hobbies. They are our pride and joy and we |
We only plan breedings occasionally and selectively striving to continue to learn
and improve on each breeding. We are also trying our best to eliminate as
many possible health problems encountered in this breed by only breeding those
dogs who have been screened and cleared of problems with hips, elbows, eyes and
hearts through the OFA/OVC and CERF. |
She is also responsible for participating on a worship team at our church where she
will lead songs from guitar or accompany the band on piano. |
Thankyou for visiting us and getting a brief insight into who we are and what we
are doing ... please feel free to contact us regarding our dogs - future breeding
plans or whatever. |

enjoyed them immensely in our various activities of family life. |
ABOUT US ... |






love them regardless of their gifts and abilities and yet they are all gifted and
motivated to do well academically and musically ... Peter has played cello
with the school orchestra, but is now mainly playing electric bass. Nic
has played violin with the Senior Orchestra and New Brunswick Youth Orchestra
and hopes to continue on with it while at University and Jeremy plays bass or
electric guitar . They have made us proud to be their parents. Thanks
guys! You are our greatest blessing! |
