Meet the breeder

I'm Ariel C., the breeder behind Curticey Finnish Lapphunds located in Lower Alloways Creek, NJ. We are a small hobby breeder. Health, temperament, and a sound structure are our top priorities in our breeding program. All of our dogs have proved themselves well in the conformation ring and other fun sports. Our puppies are raised using the puppy culture program.

Q. & A. with Ariel

  • Why did you start breeding?

    My parents used to breed pets for families to enjoy. After joining my local kennel club I realized what responsible breeding was truly about.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies are black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
