I'm Kathryn C., the breeder behind Karma Schipperkes located in Winchester, CA. My dogs are proven champions in the AKC show ring and in the hearts of their forever families. I strive to produce outstanding puppies that are structurally sound, healthy, intuitive, and have wonderful temperaments. My goal is to produce a great representation of the Schipperke and to continue improving the line with each generation. All puppies that I place are microchipped and have had at least two sets of puppy shots. Puppies are by and out of Embark tested parents. Embark tests for genetic and heath issues and I guarantee my puppies. I only breed black Schipperkes and breed to the standard of the Schipperke Club of America.
Q. & A. with Kathryn
Why did you start breeding?
My love for Schipperkes inspired me to share this breed with the world in a responsible way. I devote my time, energy, and attention to each litter to ensure puppies get the best start in life.
What makes your program special?
I show my dogs as an owner handler. I do not breed my dogs unless they are fully healthy and genetically tested. I am dedicated to always having responsible policies when it comes to breeding, socializing, and training my pups. I love what I do and truly want the very best for my puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
