Kalin’s K9s
Meet the breeder
I'm Kalin R., the breeder behind Kalin’s K9s located in Gladewater, TX. I raise friendly, intelligent companions for families looking for non-shedding pets. My dogs are bred with temperament and health as the first priority. All of my dogs and puppies are treated as pets first and are a part of my family. They are raised by myself, my husband, and our three kids. We make sure our puppies are healthy and well socialized before they leave us. They are snuggled and loved every day they are with us!
Q. & A. with Kalin
Why did you start breeding?
I started breeding when I was sixteen. It allowed me to work with dogs (which was a dream of mine), and make money while I was in school. My first litter paid for my first car! Needless to say, I fell in love and have had Poodles ever since!What makes your program special?
Well, my program is special because I LOVE my dogs and puppies! It’s a family affair and my three kids adore having puppies to love on. I focus on temperament and socialization. My son who is autistic loves the dogs and puppies and spends hours hugging or playing with them. Not to mention, our dogs are non-shedding so no hair to clean up and less allergens to deal with!What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Poodle puppies include moyen and standard sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Whoodle puppies include merle, silver, red, wheaten, cream, and black. Poodle puppies include brown, red, and parti. 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.

Kalin was the best, this was my first time using the good dog app to find my fluffy bestie, i’m so grateful, even after the transaction & handoff i had more questions & she was more than happy to assist, cannot recommend enough.

+8Kalin was very helpful throughout each step of the process! She was very knowledgeable and gave us everything we needed to succeed. Fred, now Malcolm, is everything she described and more and we cannot imagine our lives without him. We would recommend Kalin to anyone looking for a reliable and ethical breeder!

Verified owner · May 2026
Kalin always responded quickly to my emails and answered all my questions with great insight about the breed. We were able to visit before choosing our puppy and Kalin and her kids were great introducing us to the litter and talking about their personalities etc. The pickup went just as smoothly and we could not love our Finn any more!
