Meet the breeder
I'm Keith H., the breeder behind Sweet Land of Liberty located in Apex, NC. Our program focuses on breeding sound dogs from health tested parents that can be used as livestock guardians or loving family pets. We take pride in the care and love that our dogs receive here on the farm. We strive to produce well balanced and stable Great Pyrenees for your family! When selecting a puppy be certain both parents are confirmed by Embark to be 100% pure to their breed, have been cleared of genetic and heath defects, and are AKC registered. With such an important purchase you owe it to yourself and your new dog to have these assurances.
Q. & A. with Keith
Why did you start breeding?
As odd as it may seem, my decision to embark on a breeding program came about while fostering and bonding with an otherwise unwanted street dog. I contemplated deeply about the sad plight of unloved and unwanted animals, unintentional litters and irresponsible breeding. I considered the necessity of spay and neuter to prevent such tragedies. But also realized that if every dog was spayed or neutered, we’d have no more dogs! I began to see the importance of preventing unwanted litters, educating to support responsible breeding, and the need to enhance and develop good characteristics in established breeds. I had Jack, the foster dog, for six months before he went to a wonderful home where he is loved as part of the family.What makes your program special?
My program offers working line Great Pyrenees that undergo extensive health testing of the parents. This is the gold standard of a sound breeding program. My breeding stock have great temperament and would make loving family members in a pet home when not working with livestock. This unique combination of breeding healthy and mentally sound working dogs makes our farm very special.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
