I'm Kelly C., the breeder behind Callahan Ranch Dogs located in Enumclaw, WA. I provide quality pups with a focus on health, conformation, and structure. I pour all of my love into the well-being of my dogs! Airedale Terriers are a passion of mine, and I can't imagine spending life without them. I am dedicated toward achieving excellence and healthy family pets, and I enjoy raising puppies and preparing them for their forever homes. It’s an amazing experience as a breeder to provide others with Airedale Terrier puppies that I know will bring them the same joy that they've brought me!
Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I have had Airedales in my life for 55 years. I bred my first litter 35 years ago. I am addicted to puppies
What makes your program special?
We strive to breed the perfect family dog. But these dogs can also be used for hunting great service, dogs, great police dogs, military dogs show. Dogs could have future litters of your own from these dogs and have the same champion bloodlines that their father has.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
