Meet the breeder
I'm Gloria O., the breeder behind JoCo Kennel located in Wendell, NC. Many of our puppies have become exceptional show dogs, and all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends. Our breeding program stands out because of the personal attention we give to every detail of the journey. From researching breeding pairs and conducting health testing, to purposefully raising each pup with proper socialization and care, our goal is to help preserve this historic breed.
