I'm Carol P., the breeder behind Edelhaus Kennel located in Cosby, TN. I work hard to produce healthy, happy American Staffordshire Terrier puppies, and I take great pride in my breeding program. I provide my puppies with a safe, clean, and enriching environment where they can grow and learn about the world until they are ready to venture out and experience life with their forever families!
Q. & A. with Carol
Why did you start breeding?
I had my own amazing Staffy and fell in love with the breed. I wanted to do my part as a responsible breeder and produce healthy, well-rounded pups. It has been an incredible experience, and I love what I do!
What makes your program special?
Because my program is small, I am able to give each dog and puppy all of the attention and care that they need to develop and thrive. My dogs are my family, and I give that same love to each puppy as I prepare them to join their forever homes.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
