Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer U., the breeder behind Equinox Kennels located in Sanford, ME. Our dogs are our family pets and we actively show them in conformation in AKC and UKC. We do health test. When we breed the focus is on producing healthy dogs that are bred to standard and have wonderful temperaments. Our focus is competing and having fun so we only breed maybe once a year.
