People always ask about our name, "Gangsta Dog" and where we came up with the idea. We originally bought two pure breed Norwich Terriers from two different breeders. We received papers on both pups. Our female turned out to be only 25% Norwich and 75% Cairn Terrier. Our male, on the other hand, turned out to simply be a mixed breed pup whose tail was docked and sold as a purebred. He was supposed to only be twelve pounds when he matured. At eighteen months he weighed a whopping eighteen pounds. We had his DNA done and the results are shown above. When we would be out with him, everyone would comment on how handsome he was and would ask about his breed. Instead of saying he was a mutt or mongrel we would simply reply, "He's a Gangsta Dog! " It caught on and our company was born. Since then we have adopted a Yorkshire Terrier (rescued from a puppy mill) and a Chihuahua mix we call a "Choodle Schnorkie." They kind of broke out of the "big house" making them Gangsta Dogs too! Check our our video here

We are always asked, "What's a Gangsta Dog?" The story is as fun as it is frustrating. Our ideas came from our male dog, Bruiser. He is our logo, our inspiration for the name, our all natural dog treats, food, shirts, and even our wine accessories. You'll find his likeness on all our dog supplies throughout our dog bakery. Now that we won "Coolest Pet Shop in America," and national "Retailer of the Year," he may be one of the most famous dogs in the country!
