Meet the breeder
I'm Nicole A., the breeder behind California Royal Afghans located in Cottonwood, CA. At California Royal Afghans, we celebrate the athleticism and intelligence of this ancient breed. Based in California, our dogs like Ruttilus Clyde and Koko Chanel are raised with love and focus on social temperament. We are dedicated to providing families with healthy, well-conformed companions.
Q. & A. with Nicole
Why did you start breeding?
As a small family, it is very important to us to maintain the health and happiness of our hounds. We are not a large scale breeder, but would love to share this breed with fellow Afghan lovers, as they are so rarely seen here on the West Coast.What makes your program special?
As a small family of breeders, we make sure each dog gets the love and attention they need and deserve. As they are all members of our immediate family :)What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include cream, white, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
