I'm Maranda C., the breeder behind Bella Gail Kennels located in Lily, KY. Our puppies are raised in our home socialized with children, other dogs, and even cats. We have high expectations for our pups and strive to put each one into a loving family. Our focus is on breeding healthy and happy puppies that can bring just as much joy to their families as our dogs do for us.
Q. & A. with Maranda
Why did you start breeding?
Simply by being pet owners who love the breeds and our pets, breeding turned into a hobby and eventually a full time career.
What makes your program special?
Our pups are socialized from birth, we begin crate and potty training prior to being rehomed. We stand by our pups and all have a guaranteed home with us if any of our clients find themselves in a position of not being able to care for them.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
