Q. & A. with Kelli
Why did you start breeding?
I have been blessed with having a variety of pedigreed dogs throughout my life - Bloodhounds, Chow Chows, Shar Peis, Standard Poodles and some rescues, including a pekinese. I am a true animal lover! My first "job" in middle school was working for an Airedale Terrier breeder kennel taking care of their show dogs. I participated in the Michigan 4H youth program for many years. In 2008, I became friends with a standard poodle breeder and worked as her assistant in grooming, showing, whelping litters and helping her care for her dogs and puppies. In 2015, I began my amazing journey in preserving the rare ancient cat breed, the Turkish angora. Within the past 10 years I have worked diligently to improve the Turkish angora breed by lowering COI (inbreeding) and creating better temperaments. When my 14 year old Standard poodle passed away in 2022, it left me lost without a canine companion. As a child, I used to study encyclopedias and I remember being enthralled with the pages upon pages of dog breeds. The breed I always loved the most was the Skye Terrier. So here I am now, with the dog of my dreams!What makes your program special?
I am passionate about Skye Terriers and their preservation. Extinction is forever! Please support vulnerable heritage breeds. I am dedicated to my dogs health, longevity and quality of life. I provide lots of love, enrichment, life adventures, fun dog sports and an optimal fresh food complete diet for my beloved Skyes.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are gray. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
