CA' RIGADA

Ca' Rigada puppies descend from proven bloodlines and accomplished ancestors, as documented by their hunting performance and trial accomplishments.

As breeders, we know no amount of instruction can develop a dog beyond its inherent genetic potential. 

As trainers, we know how powerful the combination of exceptional genes and training is in fully realizing that potential.

And as advocates for canine welfare, we believe dogs and their owners deserve both.
 
That's why every Ca' Rigada reproducer completes the health clearances, instinct tests, cooperative hunting trials, and conformation evaluations required by the Verein Deutsch Drahthaar Breed Authority - and more. Hunting trial and conformation results, as well as eye, heart, thyroid, hip, elbow, OCD, and completed DNA health testing documentation are available in adult dogs' galleries.
