We have had dogs from our early years as our mother used to show salukis. After the accidental death of both of our parents we moved in with our uncle and aunt and lives without any dogs until age 17, when we moved out and had our first two salukis. Very soon after that our household grew with two Central Asian Shepherds as we felt we wanted a guarding breed to guard our large property. 

​

These dogs along with many placed dogs and imports were the base of our breeding, and we had many experienced kennels to help us on the way. Little by little through years and years of competing and breeding we created a very clear image of what we want and what we treasure. No matter we have shown a few other breeds on the way, even lived with an azawakh, our passion still stays with Central Asians and salukis. In the past years we have also gotten used to two afghan hounds that live with my son. He rents a small house on our property and his afghans are a frequent add-on to our pack.

​

We show out dogs ourselves and very rarely use other handlers. My brother is the most experienced one and does most of the handling, but I can help him when ever needed. When we need an extra hand, Célia and our cousins Jacob and Theo are usually there to help us out. 

​

Outside the dog world me and my brother own a company called Pro-Vet, and we specialize in surgery and producing prosthesis for pets and working and military dogs alike. I work as a CEO in the business, my brother is my greatest adviser and helper on the way. He works as a freelance artist and a part time art teacher. 

​

We live in Southern France, just outside a small village of Graulhet. We have a large property and we share it with my sister-in-law and Paulie's wife Célia Bisset-Sanders. I have two children and Paulie has four, so we have a big family and lots of people around during the holidays! Paulie also has a granddaughter (makes me feel very old ), so our dogs are very much used to (and probably terribly done with) children when they move to their new homes. This is also why we really focus on temperaments when we breed. Producing balanced dogs with good temperaments is very important to us so our dogs can be enjoyed as safe family pets.
