MARMA Farms

Dave and Gail Gordon started their dog show careers separately but coincidentally in the same year, 1971. Dave started in Ohio and Gail in Georgia. Dave and Gail met through the dog show ring and were later married in 1979. In our 45 years showing dogs, we have finished more than 100 Champions. Dave chose the name “Marma Farms” because he was breeding and showing Great Danes to begin with, and Marmaduke was the well-known comic strip about a silly Great Dane. Gail also started showing and breeding Great Danes. When we were married, we combined kennels and kept the name “Marma Farms”. It wasn’t until 2003 that we started breeding and showing Shiba Inus.
