Meet the breeder
I'm Karen S., the breeder behind Allagante Silkens located in Damascus, OR. A home-style kennel that breeds for the all-around dog. Health, temperament, conformation, and all-around athletic dogs. I strive to make sure every owner has the ability to get the very best out of their puppy. I carefully choose the sire and dam in order to produce the best quality possible.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
Our first contract 20 years ago with a Silken female stated we had to breed her. We fell in love with the puppies and our lives centered around the dogs. With all our successes in the ring and in performance, people started asking for puppies from us. We try and apply the latest puppy raising techniques to raise the best puppy possible.What makes your program special?
We breed the very best to the very best in all areas. We do not breed, for one thing, we breed for the best overall possible. Our Silkens have excelled for us and others in the show ring, racing, lure coursing, therapy dogs, agility dogs, nose dogs and so much more. We never compromise our ideals and constantly try and learn new techniques to better our breeding program.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
