Meet the breeder

I'm Laura W., the breeder behind Everlong Equine and Canine located in Monroe, NC. We breed for temperament, health, and quality home pets.

Q. & A. with Laura

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My love of the dogs. And watching my successful mentors.
  • What makes your program special?

    We put intentional care into every step of our breeding program. Our dogs are selected for intelligence, affectionate temperaments, and excellent health; all are genetically tested and clear. Puppies are whelped and raised in our home as part of our family, receiving early stimulation and daily interaction. As they grow, they’re introduced to new people and experiences on our farm, helping them become confident, well-rounded, and loved companions.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are light golden. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
