Brae Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Angela R., the breeder behind Brae Kennels located in Blaine, WA. While showing is a passion of mine, my husband and I strive to produce healthy puppies with wonderful temperaments. As such, we breed a limited amount of litters throughout the year. Our greatest rewards come from seeing our puppies loved unconditionally by their new families.
