I'm Jo L., the breeder behind Jo Lapp's Bouvier des Flandres located in Bailey, NC. I breed structurally sound and correct puppies with excellent temperaments. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond. I take pride in my program and love my dogs dearly.
Q. & A. with Jo
Why did you start breeding?
I have always loved dogs and was excited to establish my breeding and show program. I previously bred Dobermans and am now focused on the incredible Bouvier des Flandres. It is my passion to breed these wonderful dogs and help ensure the future of the breed.
What makes your program special?
I am a professional handler of Bouvier des Flandres. I place a large emphasis on good temperament with each breeding, and I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
