Q. & A. with Karol
Why did you start breeding?
We adore this breed, and starting a breeding program felt like the right decision. We value responsible breeding practices and want to do our part to promote ethical breeding so that Cocker Spaniels will continue to thrive for many generations!What makes your program special?
When I bring a life into the world, I make sure it gets the best start possible. This includes proper health care and socialization for each puppy, but it starts even earlier than birth. I set my puppies up for success by carefully selecting the parents of each litter for quality. My goal is to choose parents whose genes will bring out the best qualities in each other and produce well-balanced puppies.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We had a very good experience. we got to see pictures of the puppy and we did a video call and got to see the puppies and pick out our puppy. It was a very good pick up experience and we are so happy to have Cricket joining our family.

Karol at K & M Home Kennels was great to work with! We got updates about the litter after they were born and were able to do a video meeting to choose our puppy. We love Scout so much--she fits into our family perfectly!

Sunny; now known as Kooper, has adjusted well to his new home. He loves his older brother and all the walks he gets to take with him. I would highly recommend K & M Home Kennels for anyone that is looking for a cocker spaniel.
