I'm Karen P., the breeder behind Karen's Tzus of Palmyra-Macedon located in Palmyra, NY. My puppies are raised in my home to be wonderful companions. I do not believe in crates. All puppies are loved and socialized.
Q. & A. with Karen
Why did you start breeding?
The love of the breed, and to make other people happy,
What makes your program special?
My dogs and puppies are raised in my home. No kennels, no crates! I am there for every puppy, from birth to when they leave the nest. I encourage visits with chosen puppies. I believe it helps with the bonding process so puppies aren't afraid when going home with their new parents.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include black, liver, gold, red, red and white, gold and white, black and white, and brindle. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
