Elevation Kennels
Meet the breeder
I'm Sarah C., the breeder behind Elevation Kennels located in Washington.

We are proud of our program and look forward to helping you find your next furry family member!
Q. & A. with Sarah
Why did you start breeding?
I grew up in a small town located in southwest Missouri. Growing up we always had several animals including dogs. When my mom first started breeding as a hobby our whole family chipped in and helped. I loved the lifestyle and I just knew that's what I wanted for my children as well.What makes your program special?
We are hobby breeders, so in turn our dogs are truly apart of the family and while your puppy is here with us they are treated the same. We strive to give your puppy the best start to life.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
