Who Is Dogg!t
DOGG!T is the first of its kind health verified breeder network. We are subject matter experts in breeding, raising, training and loving dogs. We understand the first step of a happy and healthy dog starts with its parents. We do not advocate for breeders who do not health test their dogs specific to their breed standards. We do not advocate for breeders who are not purposefully breeding for better health, happiness, temperament, soundness and longevity of their breed. We understand that it’s stressful and even scary to take the journey of finding a breeder on your own. We are unbiased experts in determining whether a breeder is using responsible practices or not.
Our Story
As sisters, Cameron and Carley Simpson's journey is deeply rooted in their upbringing. Their mom, Jo Simpson, instilled in them a profound love and understanding of dogs from a young age. Jo Simpson, Co-founder of DOGG!T, is a renowned dog behavior therapy expert with over 45 years of experience raising, training, and showing dogs. Carley started showing dogs at 10 years old and Cameron shortly after, they immediately knew this would be a deep passion for years to come.
For decades we have helped our friends and been referred to help find the perfect dogs for new puppy buyers. We felt an obligation and a responsibility to help more people find happy, healthy, sound and responsibly bred dogs. We look forward to being the number one place to turn to when searching for a new puppy. Our commitment to dogs is our priority, and it starts with defining and supporting responsible breeding practices.
