Meet the breeder
I'm Shannon W., the breeder behind Palmetto Gun Dogs located in Kershaw County, SC. I produce pups that have the ability to excel in their chosen field, whether that be hunting or as an active companion. I hand-raise all of my dogs with love in my home. I have high expectations for my puppies and make sure to place each one with an enriching and loving family complementary to their personality and ability!
Q. & A. with Shannon
Why did you start breeding?
Labs are an incredible breed, and I decided to start my breeding program in order to preserve the wonderful qualities I found in my dogs. They excel both in their work and as companions. I am dedicated to improving my lines with each generation so that the breed will continue to thrive for a long time to come.What makes your program special?
I am an experienced breeder, and I take my role seriously. I keep a variety of factors in mind when choosing dogs to breed, including health, temperament, intelligence, and complementary traits, so that puppies can inherit the best of both parents.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
