Meet the breeder
I'm Kimberly S., the breeder behind Kindred Meadows Kennel located in Blue Grass, IA. Our dogs live in our home with lots of acres to run. My experience in obstetrics flows over to making sure our dogs are health checked and DNA tested. Carefully selecting our parent dogs. I breed Bichon Frises and Italian greyhounds as both make great family additions. I custom make clothes and carry bags for Bichons and Iggy's. Life is Good with Puppies.
Q. & A. with Kimberly
Why did you start breeding?
Being a country girl, I have raised and trained horses, dogs and an occasional pig. I will be retiring from a long career in obstetrics and women's health. So it is natural to continue my passion and raise fur babies. Health and genetics are important part of my program.What makes your program special?
Our Puppies are part of our home. They get to romp and run over 25 acres of hobby farm. It is very important to my program to include health and DNA testing. Our puppies are imprinted early to many experiences. I will start potty training and kennel training for a great transition to your home.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our Bichon Frise puppies are white. Italian Greyhound puppies are white and fawn. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Bichon Frise
Italian Greyhound
Good level
Kindred Meadows Kennel reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Bichon Frises.
Hip Dysplasia (rDVM, not registered)
Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Vet Wellness Exam
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
