Over Two Decades of Integrity.
Breeding for Temperament, Longevity, and Breed Preservation.

Welcome

We are located in beautiful, Southern Alberta, Canada. All of our dogs are well socialized; obedience trained, and compete in conformation events, but are first and foremost, family pets.

We strongly believe in genetically screening all of our breeding dogs, in attempts to lessen the possibility of passing on inherited health problems. No dog at Fortress will be bred unless they are proven to be of a sound mind/temperament, are a wonderful representation of the breed standard, and have completed all appropriate health testing.

Each one of our dogs have brought us many learning experiences, heart aches, joy and everything in between. Not a second would be traded, of either the good, or the bad. They have brought us to where we are and pointed us towards where we want to be.

Inquiries and visitors are always welcome.
