Meet the breeder

I'm JANET B., the breeder behind KnJ Precious Paws LLC located in Aurora, MO. Having dogs in our lives is such a blessing. We find so much fulfillment in providing that same companionship to other homes! We do our best to make sure that our puppies find the perfect families/ individuals with lifestyles that will complement these amazing breeds.

Q. & A. with JANET

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I am fortunate to live in a rural area and be able to raise and share these amazing creatures with others.

  • What makes your program special?

    I know how special dogs are. I truly believe that they are a living example of God's unconditional love. The joy and companionship that they bring to their people on a daily basis is what made us want to raise amazing puppies and give others the same lifelong companionship we experience on a daily basis.

  • What are the different breed sizes in your program?

    Poodle puppies include toy and miniature sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Poodle puppies include apricot, brown, cafe au lait, cream, red, white, and parti. Maltese puppies include white and white and tan. Yorkshire Terrier puppies include chocolate, tan and white and black and gold. Morkie puppies are black & tan tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.

Getting a puppy from JANET

JANET has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.

After buyers complete the application and screening process, JANET partners with them to find the best puppy match.

Price

Puppy prices include a $500 non-refundable deposit that secures a specific puppy. The remaining $1,300 - $2,000 is due before pickup, plus applicable taxes and fees.
Pay over time with Klarna.

“The price includes a health guarantee, registration papers, microchip, a microchip registration application, a current vaccination record, a Missouri health certificate, and a veterinary health report with fecal taken. To secure your puppy, a nonrefundable deposit is required. This deposit holds your puppy until it reaches seven weeks of age. At that time, the remaining balance of the puppy's price must be paid. If you require transportation for your puppy, this fee must also be paid in full when your puppy is seven weeks old.”

Contract & health guarantee

JANET may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If JANET offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to JANET directly.

    Janet was so knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with. Also provided weekly updates and pictures, transparent with kennel area- very clean with lots of interactive toys for the puppies. Very helpful and lots of important information. My new puppy Gracie Ann is a happy healthy little Maltese. Couldn’t have asked for a better breeder- when I picked her up Kathy and Janet were great and answered all my concerns

    I am so happy with my experience with Janic from precious paws. She gave me weekly photos and a video of my puppy. All of my questions were answered quickly. She is very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. She had many helpful tips and tricks about caring for a new puppy. Coming from out of state, not being able to visit often she helped me feel at ease and comfortable with my decision to get a puppy from her. Thanks Janet and your staff for all you do. Our family is in love with Emma.

    Janet was Superb to work with. She was ALWAYS available when I reached out to her, unlike other breeders I attempted to connect with. Janet was incredible with the attention and care for these magnificent little animals. Lexie is such an adorable little girl and smart. I’m training her and she catches on rapidly. So, would I ever get another puppy from KnJ? ABSOLUTELY.

    Working with Janet was an absolute pleasure. Total professional, excellent at her job. Always available for questions or concerns. Weekly photo/video updates. She made the whole process as easy as possible. And my Shorkie pup is absolutely amazing and adorable. Absolutely recommend.

    I had a wonderful experience with Janet from start to finish! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and always available to answer any question I had. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, ad she always responded in a timely manner. I especially appreciated how willing she was to offer assistance, helpful resources, and guidance along the way. She even offered video visits so we could see the dog and stay connected throughout the process, which was such a nice personal touch. She also sent weekly photos of the dogs! The entire experience was easy, comfortable, and well organized. It was clear that she genuinely cares about her dogs and the families they are going to. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and communicative breeder. We couldn't be happier with our experience!

    I began my search for a Yorkie puppy after my almost 16 year old Yorkie passed away. I was heartbroken and decided I wanted another Yorkie. What a blessing it was to find Janet and KnJ Precious Paws, LLC! Working with Janet was such a wonderful and stress free experience. She was always accessible to talk to me and answered any and all of my questions. I really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and videos Janet provided me of my puppy, as well as being able to visit my little guy and meet his parents and siblings. I felt totally confident that I was getting a happy, healthy, well-bred puppy from Janet. I could not be happier with the precious little boy Janet and KnJ Precious Paws sent me home with! If you are looking for an honest, reputable breeder who takes the time and effort plus has the experience to ensure you get a healthy, well-rounded, well-acclimated and beautiful puppy; a breeder who provides excellent communication, gives great advice and is great at listening and providing you with the fur baby of your dreams, look no further. Travel across the country if you have to! Janet and KnJ is well worth it!!  You won’t be disappointed I promise!! Janet, THANK YOU for my beautiful little boy!! Debbie
