I'm the breeder behind Caldwell Holler Kennel located in Elkhorn, KY. We're new breeders starting a small program. We hope to help provide families with quality puppies as we continue to learn & grow! We do our best to breed with total care by primarily focusing on raising healthy, affectionate, and loyal companions. As a result of our efforts, we’re positive our puppies will become perfect family members and add just as much joy to your life as they have ours!
