Home › Who is DOGG!T

We're dog people first. Everything else is second.

DOGG!T was founded by breeders, trainers, and behaviorists - not marketers. Two generations of hands-on experience taught us what responsible breeding and rescue really look like, and we built DOGG!T to share it with you.

Our Story

It started with one family's obsession.

Sisters Cameron and Carley Simpson grew up in the whelping box and the show ring. Their mom, Jo, is a dog behavior therapy expert with 50+ years of experience - and she raised her daughters to understand dogs before almost anything else.

For decades, friends and family turned to them for the same reason you're here now: help finding a healthy dog from a responsible breeder, and someone who actually deserves that trust. DOGG!T is that help, built for everyone.

"Our commitment to dogs comes first - it starts with responsible breeding, and it never really ends."
