I'm Joke T., the breeder behind Lochbay located in Carr, CO. Many of our puppies have become exceptional show dogs, and all of them have become excellent family dogs and lifelong friends. We enjoy training our dogs, competing in conformation shows, and spending lots of time with them doing a variety of other activities! We love our dogs dearly and are so proud of their accomplishments.
