Meet the breeder

I'm Karen S., the breeder behind Creek Bend Farm located in Rainbow City, AL. From our loving family to yours... puppies cherished from first breath, loved on daily as we do life together, and trained as they learn to navigate the road to being the best puppies they can be! Their parents were chosen and are adored because of their own excellent personalities and health.

Q. & A. with Karen

Why did you start breeding?
When looking for pets to be great additions to our family, we sought only the best in temperament, personality and health. In addition, we sought furry friends who were gentle and playful enough for toddlers yet intelligent and engaging enough for active, energetic teens. We adore our furbabies, and we have the passion to breed responsibly to bring wonderful pets with these same qualities to you.
What makes your program special?
Our family pours our hearts and heads into ethically breeding and raising our pups. We are well educated on dog health, genetics, and proven training techniques. Our pups thrive when intentionally encouraged to explore sights, sounds, obstacles, animals, and environments. Throughout each day, we are devoted to lovingly socializing and training our pups while also providing excellent health care.
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are mini size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, brown and white, blue merle, red merle, black phantom, black and white, black tri-color, red phantom, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
