Q. & A. with Kathleen
Why did you start breeding?
The natural evolution of showing dogs is creating a breeding program. Breeding to the standard ensures the pet owner all the qualities that made them fall in love with the japanese Chin. Health is top priority and ongoing support to the owner for life is KaLor.What makes your program special?
Long life through preventive care is a KaLor core value. KaLor show dogs have won top awards with the distinction of the top winning class dog during the National and Parent club shows. Having judges thank me for consistently bringing them quality dogs to judge is such an honor. Many pet owners are on their 2nd and 3rd KaLor Japanese Chin that is what breeders strive for.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and black, sable and white, red and white, and black and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
