CryptidHearts

Kay A.

Breeder of Pomeranians

Meet the breeder

I'm Kay A., the breeder behind CryptidHearts located in Tennessee. Our program focuses on Temperament first. (Along side Health, of course!) Our goal is to produce Therapy and Service Dog potential candidates. With very stable nerves, open sociability, and an eagerness to learn.

Q. & A. with Kay

  • Why did you start breeding?

    We decided to get involved in breeding Pomeranian's, in order to bring the joy and help that a Service Dog or a Therapy Dog can provide, to others. Small breed options for working candidacy is in short supply, and my biggest passion as a dog trainer is getting to train Service Dogs. We want to provide great partners for those in need, while also showing the potential the breed has.
  • What makes your program special?

    Our program is striving for more than just quality healthy pets. Through long term selective breeding, we're hoping to produce consistent Therapy and Service Dog candidate temperaments in our puppies. We know what this breed is capable of, and want to bring it out into the world to help others.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
