Meet the breeder

I'm Francisco G., the breeder behind In The Zone Dog Training and Breeding located in Gerber, CA. We’ve been breeding and training dogs for the past 10 years. We love what we do as a family and are proud of it. This is our way of life. We strive to raise and produce only the best Labrador Retrievers and French Bulldogs. We offer great service with even greater puppies.

Q. & A. with Francisco

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I started working in kennels since I was 17. I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my breeding program. I have enjoyed the journey, and I am a proud breeder with a focus on temperament and the overall mental and physical health of my puppies. I am passionate about placing happy, healthy puppies with loving families.
  • What makes your program special?

    I am confident in what I’m doing. I understand how to provide great service and produce healthy pups. My commitment is to provide you with a professional and friendly puppy-buying experience, and that includes always having responsible practices when it comes to breeding, training, and rehoming my puppies.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our French Bulldog puppies include brindle, cream, fawn, and white. Labrador Retriever puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Basset Hound puppies include lemon and white and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    Francisco made this entire process so smooth, was responsive and provided picture until my sweet boy was able to come home. My boy got a clean bill of health from the vet and has become the love of my life. I would 1000% use Francisco again.
