Gary

Gary is our sweet, soft-spoken little gentleman — just four pounds of rich chocolate, with a classic expression and the compact outline he reliably passes to his offspring.

His happiest place is the middle of the nursery. He adores babies, gently supervises every newborn we have, and has been known to play softly with puppies twice his weight. A professional-level napper, an enthusiastic sunbather, and the calm presence in any room he enters.

Gary brings consistency, sweetness, and beautiful chocolate type into every litter he sires.

"That's a Top Pocket Find!"

Anyone who has watched The Curse of Oak Island knows Gary Drayton — the British metal-detecting expert whose voice lights up the screen every time he uncovers something extraordinary. When he finds something special, he calls it a "top pocket find": a treasure so good it earns a temporary place in the top pocket of his field shirt.

Our Gary is exactly that. A four-pound chocolate gentleman small enough to fit in any top pocket — and the kind of dog you keep close because what he brings to a litter is rare. Top pocket find, indeed.

Why the cardiac echo matters. Most breeders auscultate — a quick stethoscope check that catches obvious murmurs. An advanced echocardiogram performed by a board-certified veterinary cardiologist images the heart's structure and function directly. It is the gold standard for ruling out subclinical disease in a sire, and it is the standard we hold our breeding program to.

Gary's Gets

A breeder is judged not by the dog, but by what the dog produces. These are the kids who carry Gary's chocolate type, his compact outline, and the sweetness he passes through every litter.
