I'm Caty M., the breeder behind Graceful Connections Breeding located in North Platte, NE. Attitude is everything! My top priority with my Kees is temperament. I work with my puppies daily to ensure they are desensitized to everyday activities, and begin potty training. I am very passionate about the breed and hope to help better the bloodlines for the future.
Q. & A. with Caty
Why did you start breeding?
While taking care of many different breeds, I absolutely fell in love with Keeshondens. I fell in love with one puppy in particular and just had to have her. Now I am completely obsessed with the breed, and want to be surrounded by them. I want to introduce more people to the breed and connect them with their Keeshond soulmates.
What makes your program special?
I currently only have one female and one male. Sasha Missy MooMoo and Loki: Dog of Mischief; also known as Fluffy Butt and Mr. Squeakers. They are my pride and joy. My dogs sleep in my bed and their puppies are raised in my house with all the love and attention they could ever want. They are socialized with many different species and people to ensure they are prepared to become the perfect pets. My life revolves around my dogs and meeting their needs both socially and medically. I strive to bring you the healthiest, most well-rounded puppies. It is important to me that I am breeding versatile, well-rounded, socialized, and healthy pups for my buyers to welcome into their homes and hearts.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
