I'm Brian S., the breeder behind Strickland’s Southern Kennels located in Tabor City, NC. We are huge animal lovers and have a special place in our hearts for our dogs. We want to provide top-quality beloved companions. In order to start our puppies off on the right paw, we begin training and socializing at a young age so they are set up for success in their new homes. We prioritize the health and well-being of each one of our puppies and follow all appropriate puppy health protocols.
