I'm Teri P., the breeder behind Kettle Moraine Laekenois Wisconsin located in Colgate, WI. Our primary goal is to produce healthy, & stable dogs either of quality and/or family companions. Laekenois are smart, confident herders & not to be neglected or under-excercised. They are eager to join in dog sport & work tasks. Yet can turn off & relax. Referred to as having an On-Off switch. Located in Wisconsin.
Q. & A. with Teri
Why did you start breeding?
Our love for the Laekenois’ is because of their level of intelligence, loyalty, and vitality to be active family members. It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same.
What makes your program special?
Our founding Laeken pedigrees are both from internationally winning show lines and awarded working dog lines. They reside in the home and fully participate in our lives. Parents and pups are adjusted to household life and noises, socialized in training classes, visit dog-friendly retail establishments, attend dog events, and vacation with us in our RV!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
