I'm Nikki C., the breeder behind Curatolo Kennels located in Martinsburg, WV. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. When we got our first Siberian, Arya, we were instantly in love. Since then, we’ve made it our mission to bring happy, healthy puppies into the lives of other families!
Q. & A. with Nikki
Why did you start breeding?
I bought a female husky from Howling Winds Siberians in June of 2020. The owner/breeder, Jacob Hernandez, and I became good friends. At which he then asked if I wanted to co-own a female with him and if I were ready to start back up breeding. It took me about a month to decide but here I am. Happy to be breeding one of my favorite breeds. I love having a Wolf Pack!
What makes your program special?
These dogs are my life. Not 1 dog goes without love, care & affection. We’re very attentive to each dog & their specific personalities. Each puppy is hand raised. Cuddled. Talked to & nurtured. Breeding is my full time job/lifestyle. I’m happy to see my dogs succeed in things they are interested in. Plus working w/puppy training & beginning service dog public access training gives my life meaning
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red and white, brown and white, and gray and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
