Kristin W.

Breeder of Chow Chow

Meet the breeder

I'm Kristin W., the breeder behind Graystone Kennel located in Eatonton, GA. Our dogs are bred for health and temperament with a focus on conformation and intelligence. We are dedicated to providing loving, healthy pets to our families.

Q. & A. with Kristin

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After finishing our bitch we decided we would breed her. After extensive health testing and making sure we picked the best male with good temperament and health testing we decided to breed our female.

  • What makes your program special?

    We don’t breed but once maybe twice a year; we spend time showing our dogs as well. Our dogs are champions first and health tested before we breed.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include cream and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
