About Gabriel
I'm a dad of a handsome boy. Along with my family, we dedicate our lives to our dogs. We fully understand the responsibility behind breeding healthy dogs with good temperament. Therefore, we genetic test them and we follow OFA's guidelines before pairing any dog. Consequently, we've been accepted by AKC as part of its responsible breeding program BRED WITH H.E.A.R.T. and we're so proud of it.
What makes Gabriel’s program special
We mainly breed for health, temperament and conformation. We go above and beyond when it comes to breeding dogs. Our program is as transparent as possible and our results are posted publicly in the main online platforms for people to see them. Besides that, the love, attention, training and dedication we put into it, makes our dog breeding program so special.

Why Gabriel started breeding
I grew up watching a Brazilian TV show called "Tv Colosso". The hostess of that show was called "Priscila" and she was an Old English Sheepdog. I know, right! It was actually a dog show. I remember waking up early every day to watch it. Priscila was just so charming and beautiful that I decided to learn more about OES. Now, here I am... an OES breeder living my dream every day.
