The family run Lodon Kennel, based in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside, breeds German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs).  The owners, Andrew and Jane Morris, have two sons, Harry (11) and Edward (9).  Every member of the Morris family plays a part in the development of the dogs and the delivery of high quality puppies.  The puppies are raised in a family environment, living in purpose-built kennels.

The Lodon Kennel was established eight years ago.  Andrew and Jane spent two years looking for the right bitch to allow them to establish themselves as a reputable breeder.  They were lucky enough to obtain a solid Liver bitch puppy called Birkenwald Ciska.  Ciska was derived from the highly acclaimed German Import Dolf Von Wittekind.  Ciska provided four litters, .  During her younger years she regularly worked at a number of local shots, where she was very highly rated. She has recently passed away. She has been buried in the back paddock at the  home of the Lodon Kennel. She was much loved and is sadly missed.

Jane and Andrew were keen to develop the pedigree, and seven years ago started to look for the suitable sire to mate with Ciska.  Andrew made contact with the well established Barleyarch Kennel, based in Warrington.  They kindly allowed Birkenwald Ciska to be mated to Barleyarch Playboy.  Playboy had a tremendous record in the ring and was instrumental in the development of the Barleyarch pedigree development.  Playboy was a fantastic dog and Andrew greatly admired his temperament and outstanding looks.  Playboy was the top performing GSP on a number of occasions, and established himself as one of the best performing GSP dogs in the United Kingdom.  Lodon Cissie, a solid liver, was selected for breeding.  Twelve months later repeat mating resulted in Andrew and Jane selecting a second bitch to breed on from. They named her Lodon Dilly Dally.  Dilly is very much out of her fathers style and looks.  Lodon Cissie continues the breeding program, deliver three further litters.  Lodon Dilly Dally has just had her second litter. Lodon Jasmine has been selected, from Lodon Cissie's latest litter, to continue the Lodon story. This will mean that the Lodon kennel will continue to develop and will appear on the first and second generation of the pedigree of future litters. Both Jane and Andrew are very proud of this achievement The Lodon Story continues!
