Meet the breeder
I'm Kathleen E., the breeder behind Courtland va, River Bank Kennels located in Courtland, VA. I’m just starting out but my goal is to raise sound healthy family dogs who are faithful, confident, and lovable. My dogs and puppies are lovingly raised in my home as part of my family so I can prepare them to be wonderful additions to yours. My priority is to ensure the health and well-being of all my dogs from birth until they leave with their forever family and beyond.
Q. & A. with Kathleen
Why did you start breeding?
My family raised Springers and Samoyeds when I was a child. Breeding is in my DNA. My dogs are my life and sharing their puppies with new wonderful families is such a rewarding life.What makes your program special?
I raise health-tested, confident dogs. They are raised in our home and get tons of love and socializing with other pets and children. Every puppy will be vet checked and receive all necessary health protocols. They will go home with food, a toy, and a blanket with mom's scent. I am also committed to offering a lifetime of breeder support for all those who create forever homes for my puppies.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
