Hilltop Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Kayleigh B., the breeder behind Hilltop Kennel located in Cameron, NC. Our dogs are bred for temperament and health. As of right now we offer CKC Miniature Schnauzers as well as GSDs. I make sure my dogs remain in clean environments and receive all the proper care they need. They receive plenty of love and time with me. And plenty of play time and enrichment time. And then some. Pups are taken great care of and loved like family until you take them home. We strive to send them home prepared to take on the world. We live in five acres in Cameron, NC. I am 24 yr old as of 2023. I have been around raising animals my whole life as I grew up on a farm. So I have plenty of experience. I also train dogs. And pet sit.
Q. & A. with Kayleigh
Why did you start breeding?
I was raised on a farm. So have hands on experience with breeding and raising farm animals as well as hunting dogs, working dogs, and pet dogs.What makes your program special?
We are a small kennel. I am home almost 24/7 so they never spend much time in a crate, fence, or kennel. They receive plenty of love and attention. I make sure their environments are kept clean. We go above and beyond for our dogs as they are our fur babies!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include liver, salt and pepper, and black and silver. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
