Meet the breeder

I'm Lori F., the breeder behind Promise Land located in Pasadena, MD. Promise Land is a LLC and inspected by animal control. This is a family owned business and has more than one breeder involved. This has allowed us to offer more than one breed. Each breeder has their own speciality. Located in Pasadena, Maryland, you must make an appointment to visit. Promise Land was established in 2007.

Q. & A. with Lori

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I feel in love with the English Cream when introduced in a special hospital for children. This filled my heart so much I wanted to share that experience with others. That combined with my groomer experience to put myself through college which gave me the opportunity to not only groom but show as well. This lead our entire family to breeding English Cream Goldens and as my children got older over the years they developed a love for breeding as well and we included other breeds. This is a family business.

  • What makes your program special?

    I am in the medical field for humans. I take a great interest in health not only of people but animals as well. Promise Land puppies are sold with a lifetime of support. If for any reason you aren't able to keep your Promise Land dog please give us the opportunity to find another loving home.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Boston Terrier puppies include black brindle and white and black and white. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies include blenheim, ruby, black and tan, and tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.

    We had a wonderful experience with Lori and couldn’t be happier with our 15-week-old Cavalier puppy. Lori was responsive, transparent, and clearly devoted to her dogs’ health and happiness. Our puppy arrived well-socialized, healthy, and confident, which speaks to the loving care she received. Lori provided clear guidance, complete records, and followed up to ensure the transition went smoothly. We’re thrilled with our new family member and highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a responsible, caring breeder.

    We had an amazing experience with Lori. She was very easy to work with. Answer every question we asked promptly. Even after we received our amazing Golden she continued to follow up and answered any questions we had. I would highly recommend her.

    Our experience with Lori at the Promised Land has been wonderful! Lori worked with us knowing we had just lost our beloved Maddie. We had a visit to meet our newest addition to our family and then was able to pick up our Nellie on the 20th of September. Nellie is the sweetest chill puppy. After only a few days she is adjusting to her new home. All of the instructions Lori shared with us has been spot on! We've had dogs our entire lives and this has been the best transition for sure. This is all because of Lori, she's very knowledgeable and truly cares about her pups!! Thank you Lori!

    Lori helped my family and I find the most precious baby in the world! She’s extremely attentive and responsive whenever we had any questions.

    "I had an amazing experience working with Lori from Promise Land to find our next family puppy. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and her passion for healthy dogs is very evident. Throughout the entire process, she provided regular updates and helpful guidance that made everything seamless. Even after I brought my puppy home, Lori continued to check in, offering support to ensure a smooth transition. So far our puppy has a nice calm and intelligent nature, and I’ve received many compliments on his temperament. The process of picking him up from the airport in Baltimore and bringing him back all the way to Seattle was incredibly smooth, thanks to Lori’s meticulous care and preparation. Everything went exactly as planned, making the long journey stress-free for both me and my puppy. I truly appreciate Lori’s dedication and care. She is truly one of the great, responsible breeders out there, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a well-cared-for puppy.
