Meet the breeder

I'm Kathy K., the breeder behind Ambermoon Kooikerhondje Blackamber Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs located in Gainesville, FL. We are a small, show and working dog family. All of our dogs live in our home as members of our family. We love being involved with our dogs. We take our dogs with us to as many pet-friendly family events and outings as we possibly can. We actively show our dogs in numerous canine competitions.

Q. & A. with Kathy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Breeding dogs started also at a very young age around 10 years old. My very first litter of my own was Labradors, followed by German Shepherds then Flat-Coated Retrievers. Raising quality healthy puppies was always a passion of mine. As and adult, my main focus took direction into the conformation ring of primarily Alaskan Malamutes, Flat-Coated Retrievers and English Pointers.
  • What makes your program special?

    Great care is taken in choosing the best-matched parents of great temperament, breed type, & health. We choose homes that best fit our breeds, our dogs, & us as your breeder. We have a vast knowledge of dogs in all areas; advanced training, dog behavior, dog sports, canine health & canine structure. Our dogs compete and train in almost every sport that they enjoy. We have 1000s of titles to date
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our Nederlandse Kooikerhondje puppies are white and red. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog puppies include blue white and tan and black, white and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Kathy

Kathy has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

Kathy partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 9 weeks old.

“While most puppies possess the adaptability to integrate into various households, our core philosophy focuses on identifying the specific environment where each individual puppy will truly excel. Recognizing that every puppy develops a distinct personality, intelligence level, and temperament, we extend their time with us to facilitate accurate assessments. Our puppies remain in our care until at least nine weeks of age—with many staying for 12 to 14 weeks, or longer—allowing them to gain essential social maturity from their mother and the pack. This comprehensive evaluation period ensures we achieve an optimal match between each puppy's unique traits and the lifestyle of their forever family.”

Price

Puppy prices include a $350 non-refundable deposit and between $3,150 - $5,250 final payment, before taxes & fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“An informational letter will be supplied to serious inquires with details of our pricing. Deposits are accepted only after you complete our approval process. We do not place our puppies, without an in-depth screening process, to do so would be detrimental to the future of each of our puppy.”

Contract & health guarantee

Kathy may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase.
