Meet the breeder

I'm Carla F., the breeder behind Indian Valley Kennels located in Glade Hill, VA. I have strived to offer healthy, well-balanced family companions that offer a lifetime of joy for their families. All our puppies are handled daily and have outdoor playtime in a safe area and get to interact with the other pack members.

Q. & A. with Carla

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I became interested in breeding after I purchased my first Native American Indian Dog, Zakai, because the breed was considered hypoallergenic. My son had been showing signs of sensitivity to dogs so wanted to have a dog that wouldn't cause him issues. When the breed didn't I wanted to share them with the world. We are now partnering with the NAID Preservation Project.

  • What makes your program special?

    Since 2007, I have been breeding these wonderful dogs and feel I have learned a lot about them and about those looking to add one to their family. They are unique in many ways and I enjoy sharing that uniqueness with others. I work hard to produce stable, healthy pups that make great family companions. I have several that have gone on to be service dogs and I think that says a lot.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and guardian homes.
