LGDEN Breeders
LGDEN Breeders are guardians of their breed(s), committed to providing education and mentorship for the betterment of the breed as a whole. They believe in the ideals and goals of this group and uphold them with integrity, honesty, and transparency. LGDEN Breeders understand the importance of health testing their breeding stock, and are devoted to retaining the natural working abilities of their breed by proving competence actually on the job.
