I don't know what part of North Carolina you are in, but my daughter took her pup through several classes with the "Dogfather" In Asheville. Since she was an AKC evaluator herself, she could be pretty picky, and she really liked the way classes were run.
I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. A breeder? Or a trainer?
I definitely recommend getting Teddy into some classes. It's equally good for puppies and their humans. Even just the camaraderie with other owners can really help you through the daily challenges.
