I'm Kathy G., the breeder behind Kacia Kennels located in Lexington, KY. I work to produce well-rounded dogs with the potential to either be a good show prospect or an excellent family pet. I am a preservation breeder. Temperament and health are always my top priorities. It is imperative that each puppy is placed in the best home possible. If you can no longer keep a dog that you got from me, I will take it back, no matter the age, no questions asked. I care deeply about all of my dogs and can't wait to match you with one!
Q. & A. with Kathy
Why did you start breeding?
My mentors encouraged me to breed and advised me every step of the way. I went to several seminars to educate myself in order to be well prepared and I continue to educate myself for the good of my dog and the puppies they produce.
What makes your program special?
I care deeply about the well-being of my dogs and their puppies. I am always just a phone call or text away, should my puppy buyers have any questions or need my advice. My dogs are my family and I can't wait to welcome you into our community!
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies are sable. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
