Meet the breeder
I'm Kim C., the breeder behind Gentle Giant Saint Berdoodles located in Chicago, IL. From the very beginning, each puppy is raised in my home as part of our family. I follow the Puppy Culture protocol, which provides structured early neurological stimulation, problem-solving exercises, and positive exposure to new sights, sounds, and and environments.
Q. & A. with Kim
Why did you start breeding?
My lifelong love of animals ultimately led me to become a breeder. From a young age, I have been passionate about caring for animals, and that passion has shaped the way I raise and nurture puppies.What makes your program special?
We follow an early development program designed to give puppies a strong foundation for life. Puppies are introduced to everyday items and experiences such as bicycles, vacuum cleaners, the recorded sounds of fireworks and crying babies, music, crates, and more. They have daily brain stimulation activities including lick mats and problem-solving challenges such as navigating around barriers.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
