Christ the King Monastery
Meet the breeder
I'm Marcellino D., the breeder behind Christ the King Monastery located in Alabama. All of our puppies are bred, raised, and loved indoors to produce happy, healthy pets for those seeking the best family companion! We fell in love with the breed because of their intelligence and personality. There’s hardly a better feeling than being able to share them with other families that will love them the way that we do!
