About FoxFire FarmsUS

FoxFire Farms PERFORMANCE Central Asians

Jeannine & Vincenzo De Palma is far from your typical Central Asian dog breeder.

Unlike those breeding for just 1 purpose & ignoring all form or function.

The De Palmas prefer to focus on breeding the CASD as a True PERFORMANCE dog a TOTAL DOG.

FoxFire has won World, Regional & National Champion titles in every circuit consecutively since 98.

Beating all US & Import World Champion competition.

Yet the real honor is the reminders of the lives they have saved.

The De Palma's one day will be remembered for bringing the breed to the forefront of the USA Dog Fancy.

By retaining aboriginal bloodless that would otherwise be ignored by the modern breeders.

Sound minds ,bodies & even temperaments are constants through the FoxFire' stapestry of performance

dominated bloodlines they are focusing on. Believing that performance is the heart of the CASD.

FoxFire's program focuses on form to function , conformational attributes & user friendly dispositions.

They utilize traditional working bloodlines taken right off the working plains.

All FoxFire dogs are the best un related CAS working dogs .

Genetically & temperament tested & rated against the working standard by Russian Experts.(RKF)

Since they feel it is detrimental to any small gene pool such as the CASD to start a breeding program based on inbreeding to one dog.

Thus this outcross program by the De Palmas have produced much of the original size, color, structure & temperament

of the ORIGINAL dogs of Central Asia vs the new breed emerging as a show dog.

The future is bright for the aboriginal DOGS of Central Asia thanks to the dedication of the De Palmas.

Deputy Chief Hildbrand

Summing up myself -Proudly American & tough caring New Yorker.

100% to the point & honest I say it like it is.. And for that reason in the world of dog politics .

I have earned respect among the top of the dog world.

On the same token I have earned the contempt from the BOTTOM of the dog world or what we call the HAVE NOTS in the world

And I would NOT change a thing from all these years. I never attack -I defend & my defense is king to bear protecting cubs

This is a trait bred into Native New Yorkers a survival skill required to navigate the streets of the Mega City..

But the other side of me & most of us natives have ingrained, if you attack me or one of my own , WATCH out our defense reactions will surpass the initial attack & will leave you speechless & thinking was it worth it? to test the boundaries of human decency ,to harm someone or a dog, to attack someone who loves as much as I do my dogs and my family ----

Think about it.

"The Gift which I am sending you is called a dog & is in fact the most precious & valuable possession of mankind" Theordorus Gaza

Once Upon a a time a little girl Brooklyn would get reports cards stating she was day dreaming in school. She would dream of having my own puppies like Lassie did , her dad even got me one when he divorced my mom.

Riding down a meadow with her own Black Beauty.

Much later when the girl grew up she dreamed of finding a knight to protect from all the evil the world had to offer...

Jeannine has her knight Sir Vincenzo
