Karluk Acres Karakachans
Meet the breeder
I'm Julie W., the breeder behind Karluk Acres Karakachans located in Kenai Peninsula Borough, AK. I produce pups that are proven working dogs. They are wonderful livestock protectors and smart, working partners and guardians for their families! My dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. I am proud to be breeding working dogs that can handle the daily tasks of farm life while also being the greatest family companions. I look forward to connecting you with your pup!
Q. & A. with Julie
Why did you start breeding?
I love my Karakachans! My dogs have brought me so much joy and have proven to be wonderful additions to my farm that I wanted to produce the highest quality dogs for others to enjoy. These pups thrive in their roles and will not disappoint!What makes your program special?
I am very conscious about who I rehome my puppies to. I like to be sure that each family is getting a puppy that best matches their needs and lifestyles. I am very dedicated to what I do and what I aim to achieve as a breeder. I work with passion, heart, and integrity.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
