My name is Jessica, though I would prefer that you call me by my online alias, Sentoki. My farm specializes in German Shepherds and Rough Collies, although my main progress has only been in German Shepherds so far.
History
I started off RVA, or RA, as I've set the prefix to be, with the main breed being Australian Shepherds. Soon after starting though, I realised that breeding aussies wasn't what I wanted to do, and thus switched over to raising and breeding collies.
As luck would have it, I managed to obtain a pair of 400+ stat collies soon after the switch, and was happily proceeding to obtain even more collies when I discovered the large variety of colours in the German Shepherd breed. I then went to purchase my first GSD, Shaduw, who has since given birth to multiple pups in my farm.
This then started off my GSD breeding career, as I have since sought to breed high-quality pups from my females.
Stud Policy
All my male imports are up for public stud.
Males who are of the 2nd generation or younger will only be for private studding to outside females unless otherwise stated. Females which these males are bred to are required to have similar stats to the male and his pedigree. Likewise, the stats of the female's parents and grandparents (unless import) are required to be similar to that of the male's to ensure that the pups will be of a similar quality.
RA will not stud out its males to females who have a trainability stat of below 40, to ensure that the pups will not be born with low trainability stats.
Additionally, there should be no common ancestry in the pedigree of the parents. RA strictly disallows inbreeding, and all inbred pups will be rehomed immediately regardless of stats.
Sale Policy
All pups sold by RA are guaranteed to be train-happy (trainability over 50), and have overall stats of more than 310.
Pups of a more common colour variety will have minimum stats of 340, so as to continue to maintain the standards of the breed.
Prices will range anywhere from $300 or more depending on the quality and rarity of the pups' colour variation and markings.
Trades are allowed in return for the pups we have listed for sale, provided that the stats of the offered dog/bitch are similar (+/- 10) to that of the pup wanted. However, exceptions may be made depending on the situation.
Available studs
Training/Competing Policy
Excluding a few exceptions, all dogs in RA are full trained in their selected specialty before being bred. Most dogs will also have received the minimum of a HS title before being bred, although this is not necessary due to time constraints.
Public training is available for all livestock types for a fee of $50. RA currently has 1 herd of cows, 1 herd of sheep, and 2 flocks of ducks, all of whom are fully dogbroke and have a conformation of at least 65.

Breeding Plans
[437]Other breed policy
As mentioned above, RA also specializes in breeding collies. Our aim is to breed a lineage of 360+ stat merle collies. As such, we have obtained several imports which will be used to start our lines.
If interested in studding or leasing a bitch to breed, please contact us with links to the dog/bitch you want to breed to, and a link to the dog/bitch that will be bred to them. Please note that the stud policy above applies as well.
