Q. & A. with Lori
Why did you start breeding?
I fell in love with the Gordon breed when we purchased our Gabby and now it is my passion to breed these incredible dogs We searched for the perfect male to breed her with, and after finding him the love story began. Since then we have added to our future breeding program by purchasing another female to add to our breeding stock once OFA clearances are obtained.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program stands out because my puppies are born and raised in my home, I am committed to socializing, providing continuous vet visits & grooming, Puppies are not released until they are vet approved and cleared at a minimum of 8-10 weeks old Puppies sent home with a Toy , Blanket with Moms scent, tooth brushes, Vaccinations, Food bag, Certificate of Health, and AKC Registration.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
