Alpenglow Amstaffs
Meet the breeder
I'm Kady H., the breeder behind Alpenglow Amstaffs located in Elizabeth City, NC. I am a small, hobby breeder focusing on producing happy, healthy companions and show/performance Amstaffs. My priority is to produce amazing representatives of the breed, and I focus on health, temperament, soundness, and conformation.
Q. & A. with Kady
Why did you start breeding?
I wanted an all-around, "do everything" kind of dog that was also flashy, pretty, and a great family dog. I landed on the Amstaff. My own dogs compete and are titled in AKC conformation. I am so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.What makes your program special?
I am a small kennel, so only keep a select few dogs at a time. All of my dogs are raised in my home as part of the family, and I expect the same from any of my puppy owners. My goal is to produce happy, healthy, and sound dogs that are great breed ambassadors. I have high expectations for my puppies and strive to place each one in an enriching and loving home!Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
