What sets this breed apart from all the other "new breeds" that have come around in the last decade is the high standards placed on them. The founder isn't trying to make a quick buck by pushing as many puppies as she can. These dogs are not permitted to be bred unless the standards of the founder herself are kept. Health testing is of great importance, as well as competing in various canine events. *********************************** I would love to know the bloodlines of these "panda" shepherds so I could stay far, far away!
