Kayo Kennel
Meet the breeder
I'm Kristina B., the breeder behind Kayo Kennel located in Macon, GA. We offer top-quality Dual/Triple registered American Staffordshire Terriers. Our dogs are bred to produce healthy, sound, and versatile pups. Our ultimate goal is to produce athletic and well-structured canines that can excel within various performance venues and have the ability to be the greatest family companions. We train in conformation, weight pulling, obedience, agility, rally, dock diving, and protection work. Our dogs are strong competitors as well as wonderful, loving companions! We occasionally have Shorty Bulls Available as well.
Q. & A. with Kristina
Why did you start breeding?
It is important to me that I not only continue my own phenomenal bloodlines, but that I am improving this breed with each litter and ensuring the well-being of these dogs for generations more to come! It is an honor to represent this breed and create opportunities for others to experience the same joy that I've found in raising these wonderful dogs.What makes your program special?
My heavy involvement in the show world speaks to the standards by which I breed my dogs. I strive to produce healthy, quality pups that can take the competition world by storm and be loving companions. I take pride in raising well-tempered and socialized puppies who can excel in work, show, and as beloved family dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
