I am a hobby breeder from Western North Carolina. I have two main goals at Lion's Gate.
First and foremost, I want to breed happy, healthy, well socialized pets for your family.
Following in very close second, I want to produce dogs with excellent pedigrees and conformation.
Our family is a large one by just about anyone's standards! That just gives us more hands and laps to love on our puppies before they come to live with you. They will be used to the attentions of children of all ages. We really mean it when we say they will be kid tested!
I grew up watching my grandmother raise Manchester Terriers, with those distinctive black and tan coats. I loved when the puppies were born!
My husband grew up with Dachshunds, always named Sam, no matter what the gender. His beautiful red smooth male Sam was our chaperon, sitting between us and growling if I got too close to his boy! Our newest addition, Lily, came to us April 2006 and she absolutely adores our doxies.
