I'm Kelsey F., the breeder behind K.C. Kennels located in Brighton, TN. Our dogs are our beloved companions. We care deeply about this breed and are proud to be responsible breeders.

Q. & A. with Kelsey
Why did you start breeding?
We have been breeding for over 10 years. We bred Am Staffs & Danes.In 2019 our son almost lost his arm to a dog & when we came home from the hospital our Amstaff NEVER left his side from that moment on & our Danes pick up on his anxiety and calm him when he is anxious.We have taken great pride in breeding these amazing dogs for their temperament and strive to produce just that in our babies ❤️
What makes your program special?
From day one our pups are around children to ensure they go to their new homes with an amazing social personality. We love to video chat with potential owners and get to know them, and then we continue to keep up with owners after our pups are gone on to their furever home!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
