Breeding Program

The Heart of Our Program

Our ancestors walked with dogs at their side—not behind them. That is how we walk still.

At Corn Moon Medicine Dogs, breeding is not just a practice—it’s a calling to protect and preserve the sacred.

Rooted in Southeastern Native values and guided by generations of ancestral wisdom, our breeding program is a living expression of cultural preservation, spiritual purpose, and deep respect for the animals entrusted to our care. Every dog in our program carries more than just genetics—they carry legacy, medicine, and meaning.

We don’t breed to meet demand. We breed to fulfill purpose. Every pairing is intentional. Every puppy is nurtured from birth with holistic care, deep presence, and connection to the land. And every placement is guided not by profit, but by the calling each dog has in the world.

This is not just a breeding program. This is a restoration. A prayer. A promise.

1. Culturally Rooted

Our work is grounded in Southeastern Native traditions that recognize the dog as a spiritual being, not just a pet. We honor their medicine, their purpose, and the ancestral role they’ve played in guiding, healing, and protecting our people.

2. Holistic Approach

Our dogs are raised with ancestral feeding practices (including raw, nutrient-rich diets), minimal and intentional medical interventions, and deep daily connection with land, rhythm, and relationship. We delay spay/neuter for health and development, and avoid unnecessary chemical exposure.

3. Purposeful Pairings

We don’t breed for profit or for fads—we breed with intention. Every pairing is chosen based on genetics, temperament, spiritual alignment, and the long-term wellness of the breed. We value diversity, low COIs, and functional structure over trend-based traits.

4. Spiritual Matchmaking

Puppy selection isn’t first-come, first-serve—it’s a ceremony. We believe each dog has a calling, and we take time to listen. Puppies are placed based on deep understanding of their medicine and the lives they are meant to walk beside. structure over trend-based traits.

5. Generational Vision

We aren’t just building a line—we’re restoring a legacy. Our retired dogs are celebrated, our lines are documented with DNA and ancestry testing, and every generation is raised to carry forward the best of those who came before.

What Sets Us Apart

More than a program—this is a restoration of purpose, lineage, and sacred bond.

In a world where breeding often becomes business, we remain rooted in something older. Deeper. Truer. Our program is guided by tradition, by integrity, and by an unwavering commitment to raising dogs that are more than companions—they are healers, protectors, and teachers.

Breeding Standards & Practices

How We Raise Future Generations

Our Breeding Philosophy

Ethical. Ancestral. Intentional.

At Corn Moon Medicine Dogs, we don’t just breed dogs—we steward a sacred lineage. Every pairing, every pup, and every placement is guided by three core principles: health, spirit, and relationship.

This is not a high-volume operation. Our breeding program is slow, thoughtful, and rooted in respect—for the dogs, the people they serve, and the sacred roles they fulfill. These are not pets. They are medicine dogs.

Temperament & Purpose Come First

While health and structure matter greatly, temperament is our first priority. We believe a dog must be a suitable companion before it can be anything else. Our breeding selections emphasize emotional intelligence, intuitive bonding, and a spiritual readiness to walk beside a human through life’s journey. Each pup is evaluated for its potential as a healing partner—whether that be in a home, a school, a therapy setting, or the wild rhythm of homestead life.

Ancestry, Content, and Transparency

We are actively working to preserve and restore the true Native American Indian Dog (NAID) by tracing ancestry, verifying content, and responsibly reintroducing genetic diversity through carefully managed outcrossing. Every dog in our program is:

COI and DNA-tested through Embark

NAID content verified through Know Your Pet DNA

Registered with the NAID Preservation Project, with full transparency on F status and NAID content percentage (¼, ½, ¾, or Full/Purebred)

We publish these designations openly so you can make informed decisions—and so that the breed can move forward with clarity and integrity.

Health Screening & Structural Soundness

Our breeding dogs undergo a full health screening process that includes:

Embark genetic panel testing
OFA or PennHIP imaging for hips and elbows
Thyroid screening, including autoimmune panels
CAER eye exams by board-certified ophthalmologists
COI% testing
Comprehensive, breed-specific temperament evaluations

While many breeders rely only on lineage, we believe in verifying health across generations—because longevity, mobility, and well-being are part of the medicine.

Our Puppy Raising & Environment

Our puppies are raised in a spiritually conscious, clean, and grounded environment. They are:

Handled daily from birth, gently conditioned to human scent, voice, and energy
Socialized with livestock, children, and other dogs in our homestead setting
Nourished with whole foods, raw supplementation, and a foundation of clean water and herbs
Introduced to crate, leash, car, and early enrichment protocols

We believe in raising puppies who are not only physically ready—but emotionally prepared—to enter the world with confidence and connection.

Holistic Health Standards

Our program is grounded in time-honored, biologically aligned care that supports lifelong vitality. We emphasize:

No early spay or neuter — required delay until 18–24 months for joint, hormone, and behavioral health
Raw, species-appropriate diet including bone, organ, and whole-food supplementation
Avoidance of processed kibble to reduce inflammation, allergies, and chronic disease
Science-backed minimal vaccine protocol based on titer testing and individual needs

We believe in honoring the natural design of the dog—supporting their body, mind, and spirit from the inside out.
