Glaurung Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Stephanie L., the breeder behind Glaurung Kennel located in New Boston, MI. I breed to the SV standard that includes health testing and working titles. My dogs live in my home as valued members of my family.
Q. & A. with Stephanie
Why did you start breeding?
I trained and competed for over 25 years, and I decided to try it after I had a dog that I loved working and was fully titled and health tested.What makes your program special?
My number one goal is great, solid temperaments that can work as well as be active pets. I do my best to produce that while doing extensive health testing and training and titling my own dogs before breeding. I try to be as ethical as I can.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
